Fatty Acid Methyl Ester (FAME) testing is a critical analytical technique used to determine the fatty acid profile and authenticity of edible oils. By converting fatty acids into their methyl ester derivatives and analysing them using Gas Liquid Chromatography (GLC), FAME testing provides a precise fingerprint of edible oils. This analysis plays a vital role in detecting adulteration, verifying purity, confirming oil identity, and ensuring compliance with food safety regulations. In a highly regulated and quality-conscious market, FAME testing of edible oils is essential for manufacturers, importers, exporters, and food processors.

Benefits of FAME Testing for Edible Oils

• Determines the detailed fatty acid composition of edible oils
• Detects adulteration and substitution with inferior or non-declared oils
• Confirms oil identity and purity (e.g., mustard, soybean, sunflower, palm, ghee)
• Ensures compliance with FSSAI, BIS, Codex, and international food standards
• Supports quality assurance, labelling accuracy, and export requirements
• Helps maintain product consistency and consumer trust
