FOREWORD
0.1 This Indian Standard (Second Revision) was adopted by the Indian
Standards Institution on 28 August 1968, after the draft finalized by the
Oils and Oilseeds Sectional Committee had been approved by the Chemical
Division Council and the Agricultural and Food Products Division Council.
0.2 India ranks among the largest coconut producing countries of the
world. The chief coconut growing states in India are Madras, Kerala,
. Mysore, Orissa, and West Bengal. Considerable quantities of coconut oil,
both in the raw and refined state, are used in India for edible purposes and
for margarine and bakery fatl. Furthermore, the oil finds wide use in the
manufacture of soaps and various types of cosmetic and toilet preparations.
The requirements for various grades of the oil have, therefore, been SO prescribed in this standard that these grades are suitable for the foregoing
purposes. The oil is also used for pharmaceutical purposes.
0.3 This standard was originally issued in 1954. In ita first revision issued
in 1963, the limits of acid value, colour and the moisture and insoluble
impurities were modified in the light of experience. As the standard
covered only the expressed type of oil, and since there was an urgent need
for formulation of an Indian Standard for the so!vent-extracted type,
15:34711966* was issued al an emergency standard based on the data
made available to the ad hoe Consultative Group let up for the purpose.
After having decided to normalise this emergency standard the need for
rationalizing the grades of the oil covered in these standards was keenly
felt. Thls second revision of IS: 542..1954 hal been prepared amalgarnatinJr
its.earlier revision and 18:34711966*. As a consequence, IS: 34711966i
now stands withdrawn.
0.4 The requirements laid down in this standard for the expressed type of
the ail correspond to the specifications prescribed by the Directorate of
~farketing and Inspection in their Vegetable Oils Grading and Marking
Specification for solvent extracted coconut oil.
llulel, 1955. For the purpose of regulating the quality of the 101v( ".textracted type of this oil, the concerned Indian Standard on the solventextracted type or the oil which is incorporated now had been adopted in
the relevant schedule of the Solvent-Extracted Oil, De-oiled Mt\,al and
Edible Flour (CQntrol) Order, 1967. In so far al the edible grades are
concerned, this standard takes care of the provisions of the Prevention Af
Food Adulteration Rule., 1954, as modified from time to time.
