Method
Test type: End Point
Colorimetric reaction at 505 nm
Testing time: 4 minutes - 70 Tests/Hour
It is possible to carry out several test sessions with a maximum of 14 samples.
Calibration can be performed by aligning the test to reference values.
Principle of the test
R-O-O-R peroxides oxidize Fe2+ ions. The Fe3+ ions resulting from oxidation are grouped and form a red complex. Its colorimetric intensity, measured at 505 nm, is directly proportional to the concentration of peroxides in the sample. Results are expressed as meqO2/Kg.
The amount of peroxides of fats indicate the degree of primary oxidation and therefore its likeliness of becoming rancid. A lower number of peroxides indicates a good quality of oil and a good preservation status.
Unsaturated free fatty acids react with oxygen and form peroxides, which determine a series of chain reactions that generate the production of smelling volatile substances. Those reactions are accelerated by high temperature and by light and oxygen exposure.
CDR innovative method simplifies and speeds up the standard procedure, because it enables the analysis to be carried out using micro-quantities of samples and to be applied to fats that are difficult to extract.
