This document specifies a high-performance size-exclusion chromatography (HPSEC) method for the determination of polyglycerides in animal and vegetable fats and oils. It outlines the necessary procedures, equipment, and reagents for conducting the analysis. The method is applicable to the determination of the degree of polymerization of glycerides in various types of oils and fats. Detailed steps for sample preparation, chromatographic conditions, and data interpretation are provided. The standard ensures consistency and reliability in the analytical results obtained through HPSEC. It serves as a reference for laboratories performing such analyses and is intended to support quality control and research activities in the field of lipid chemistry. The procedure is designed to be compatible with common chromatographic systems and allows for the accurate quantification of polyglycerides in complex mixtures.
