p-Anisidine Value (AnV) test in Fats and Oils
Anisidine value test is used to assess the secondary oxidation of oil or fat, which is mainly imputable to aldehydes and ketones, and is therefore able to tell the oxidation "history" of an oil or a fat.
Furthermore, AnV analysis on oil is an indicator of excessive oil deterioration in deep frying process.
Method
Kinetic analysis.
Analysis time: 1 minute.
Analysis sessions with multiple samples are possible up to a maximum of 16 tests for CDR FoodLab® and 3 tests for CDR FoodLab® Junior.

Principle of the test
Aldehydes, derived from the secondary oxidation of fat matrix, react with the p-anisidine determining a variation in the absorbance, measured at 366 nm. Anisidine value is expressed as AnV (Anisidine value) following AOCS (Cd 18-90) the reference method.
Calibration curve
The CDR method showed good correlation with the AOCS Official Method Cd 18-90. In addition, the international reference laboratory Campden BRI has carried out comparative tests between the CDR FoodLab® method for the determination of p-anisidine of oils and fats and the Campden BRI method (Campden BRI Method TES-AC-360): the correlation coefficient obtained is R2 = 0.9942, which shows that the correlation between the two methods is very good.
