The content ratio of insoluble impurities in animal fats and oils (meaning fats and oils manufactured from domestic animals, birds, or fish or shellfish as raw materials, except those manufactured only from fish or shellfish as raw materials in a process completely separated from the process for manufacturing mammal-derived proteins and poultry-derived proteins (except confirmed gelatin, etc); the same shall also apply hereinafter) shall be no more than 0.15%. The method of testing insoluble impurities in this case shall be as follows: Weigh the sample approximately 20 g accurately note 1), add 200 mL of petroleum ether, special class and dissolve the sample. Pass note 2) it through a glass filter (G3) note 3), of which weight is known, and wash well the residue on the filter with 200 mL of petroleum ether, special class. Dry the residue with the glass filter for an hour at 105 1˚, leave in a desiccator (silica gel) to cool for 30 minutes, and then weigh accurately. Insoluble impurity is calculated by the following formula. Insoluble impurity (%) = W3−W2W1 × 100 W1: Weight of the sample (g) W2: Weight of the glass filter (g) W3: Weight of the glass filter with residue (g) Note 1. Dissolve sufficiently oil and fat of the sample in warm water in advance. Shake and mix well, pipette and put in a beaker. Note 2. Since a portion of oil and fat solidifies for some beef tallow, weight and immediately add petroleum ether. Following complete dissolution of oil and fat, filtrate within 10 minutes. When the sample is hard to filtrate, suction filtration should be applied to. Note 3. Dry for an hour at 105 1˚, leave in a desiccator (silica gel) to cool for 30 minutes, and then weigh accurately.
