Test Description

A wide-ranging fatty acid profile to include saturates, mono-unsaturates, poly-unsaturates, and a selection of individual fatty acids that are sufficiently abundant in the quality control material.

Fat is an essential part of the human diet, supplying nutritional components that the body needs in order to function. Too much fat in the diet, especially of nutritionally undesirable forms, can give rise to health problems. Hence, fat is subject to labelling requirements on food products and analyses are targeted towards this compliance.

Mustard oil is widely used for cooking in India but its use in other territories is controlled due to the high level of erucic acid (monounsaturated omega-9 fatty acid) which is known to be toxic at high levels.


Quality control materials provide effective tools to build and provide ongoing detail to quality improvement efforts. By building on the snapshot of proficiency testing activities, a long term picture of your laboratory's testing ability can be provided, to impress both accreditors and potential customers of your testing credibility.
