The solid fat index (SFI) is an empirical measure of the solid fat content of the sample. It is calculated from the specific volumes associated with combined liquid and solid phases at specified temperatures, utilizing a dilatometric scale graduated in units of mL × 1000. Results are therefore expressed as melting dilation in mL/kg of sample. Applicable to margarine oils, shortenings and other fats with an SFI of 50 or less at 10°C. The method is empirical, and departures from the procedure as written may cause variations in results. It is essential that the temperatures utilized in the test procedure be reported with the results of the test.
