Oilseeds - Determination of moisture and volatile matter content (ISO 665:2020)

This technical document establishes the procedures for determining the moisture and volatile matter content in oilseed crops. It specifies the use of air-drying techniques at controlled temperatures to ensure consistent and accurate results across various sample types. The methodology outlined is designed to facilitate reliable quality assessment in the agricultural and food processing sectors, supporting trade and regulatory compliance by providing a unified approach to measurement. The standard aligns with internationally recognized practices, ensuring compatibility with global testing protocols. It applies to a wide range of oil-bearing seeds used in industrial applications. The document details the necessary apparatus, sample preparation methods, and calculation formulas required to perform the analysis correctly. Adherence to these procedures helps minimize variability between different testing laboratories and enhances the reliability of data reported for oilseed batches.
