The IUPAC Commission on Oils, Fats and Derivatives undertook development of a method and collaborative study for determination of polymerized triglycerides in oils and fats. Two collaborative studies were carried out by IUPAC in 1985 and 1986. Both studies consisted of 4 materials, including animal fat, frying oil with average content of polymers, and blends of frying oil containing varying amounts of polymers. Thirteen and 17 laboratories were included in the first and second IUPAC collaborative studies, respectively. Another collaborative study conducted by inspectorate for Health Protection, Food Inspection Service, The Netherlands, included 13 laboratories. Six heat-processed fat samples (3 pairs of split samples) containing 14-28% (w/w) of polymerized triglycerides were studied. The method was adopted by AOAC INTERNATIONAL as an IUPAC-AOCS-AOAC method.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D009821	Oils	Unctuous combustible substances that are liquid or easily liquefiable on warming, and are soluble in ether but insoluble in water. Such substances, depending on their origin, are classified as animal, mineral, or vegetable oils. Depending on their behavior on heating, they are volatile or fixed. (Dorland, 28th ed)

D005223	Fats	The glyceryl esters of a fatty acid, or of a mixture of fatty acids. They are generally odorless, colorless, and tasteless if pure, but they may be flavored according to origin. Fats are insoluble in water, soluble in most organic solvents. They occur in animal and vegetable tissue and are generally obtained by boiling or by extraction under pressure. They are important in the diet (DIETARY FATS) as a source of energy. (Grant & Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed)
D014280	Triglycerides	An ester formed from GLYCEROL and three fatty acid groups.	Triacylglycerol,Triacylglycerols,Triglyceride
