The American Oil Chemists Society (AOCS) has developed and published over 400 methods to measure important lipid quality parameters. These tests are usually specific to the form, the type, and the stage of processing that the lipid is in. Levels of specific contaminants in oils can be determined by using one or more of the Official Methods and Recommended Practices of the American Oil Chemists Society (68).
