Traduction de «programme d'essais de saturation » (Français → Anglais) :

Controlled intervention trials have indicated that transfats increased the risk of heart disease in part by increasing the levels of LDL cholesterol in the blood, as found for saturated fats. However, transfats are of greater dietary risk than saturates, since they also lower the HDL cholesterol, the so-called “good cholesterol”, in the blood, and increase a highly atherogenic fraction of blood known as lipoprotein(a), whereas saturated fats do not exhibit these two latter deleterious affects.

Eighteen-carbon saturated fatty acid, stearic acid, has been found not to increase blood cholesterol levels in controlled human trials. Mixtures of stearic acid, for example with transfat-free liquid vegetable oils, would allow for one of many options in providing transfat-free components for processed foods (1140) While the labelling of processed foods is commendable and appreciated, it needs to be pointed out that continued labelling for cholesterol in milligram units, where the gram quantities of cholesterol are multiplied by 1,000 from grams to milligrams, is unfair to the health-conscious consumer, if and when transfat contents are ...[+++]to be given in gram units.

If EN 50242: 1998 is used, the following modifications shall apply: the tests shall be carried out at 55 °C ± 2 °C with cold pre-wash without detergent; the machine used in the test shall be connected to cold water and must hold 12 place settings with a washing index of between 3,35 and 3,75; the machine's drying programme shall be used, but only the cleanliness of the dishes shall be assessed; a weak acidic rinsing agent in accordance with the standard (formula III) shall be used; the rinsing agent setting shall be between 2 and 3; the dosage of dishwashing detergent shall be as recommended by the manufacturer; three attempts shal ...[+++]l be carried out at a water hardness in accordance with the standard; an attempt consists of five washes where the result is read after the fifth wash without the dishes being cleaned between the washes; the result shall be better than or identical to the reference detergent after the fifth wash; recipe for the reference detergent (Detergent B IEC 436) and rinsing agent (formula III), see Appendix B in the standard EN 50242: 1998 (the tensides are to be stored in a cool place in watertight containers not exceeding 1 kg and are to be used within three months).

Soak a piece of cotton cloth (as per ISO 105) until saturation with the mixture defined in paragraph 2.2.2.1 above and, within 10 seconds, apply it for 10 minutes to the outer face of the sample at a pressure of 50 N/cm2, corresponding to an effort of 100 N applied on a test surface of 14 × 14 mm.
