Thirteen brands of margarines widely consumed in Serbia were
purchased in supermarkets in Belgrade, Serbia. All margarines
were produced in our country, by the following factories: Vital
(Vrbas), Dijamant (Zrenjanin), 365 Delhaize (Belgrade) and
Polimark (Belgrade). In order to fulfill the EuroFir criteria, four primary
samples of each margarine, purchased in different stores at
intervals of 3 months, were acquired for the experiment.
Expiration date of all margarines was at least one month after
the date of analysis. Samples were stored at 4 C until they were
homogenized and analyzed.
