Determination of Total Chlorine in Palm Oil with the Elemental Analyzer Multi EA 5000
29 Oct 2018Used as a food ingredient, palm oil is subject to strict quality and food safety controls. Besides the determination of antioxidants, water content or trace metals (Pb, As, Cd and Hg), the determination of total chlorine also plays an important role. In this application note, organic elemental analysis — coupling oxidative combustion and micro-coulometric detection using the multiEA 5000 — is used to determine chlorine in palm oil.

CalorimetryCalorimetry is a technique used to determine the heat released or absorbed in a chemical reaction. Calorimeters can be categorized into bomb calorimeters, constant pressure calorimeters, differential scanning calorimeters, isothermal titration calorimeters, X-ray microcalorimeters, heat-loss calorimeters, and high-energy particle calorimeters. The choice of calorimeter depends on the application.Thermal Analysis EquipmentThermal analysis equipment is used for measuring heat flow, weight loss, dimension changes or thermomechanical properties and is important for analyzing a material’s performance and stability. Thermal analysis equipment includes differential scanning calorimeters (DSC), thermogravimetric analyzers (TGA), thermomechanical analyzers (TMA), dilatometers, thermometers, vapor sorption analyzers, boiling and melting point apparatus. Thermal analyzers can reveal properties such as melting, crystallization and glass transitions or other processes such as oxidation, decomposition, volatilization, as well as coefficients of thermal expansion and modulus.
