CDR FoodLab® is the chemical analyzer for quality and process control that allows you to determine a wide range of parameters of many foods, animal feeds and pet foods.

p-Anisidine Value (AnV) test in Fats and Oils

The p-Anisidine value is used to assess the secondary oxidation of fatty substances and correlates with the presence of aldehydes and ketones, which are responsible for the rancid smell and taste. Thus, the Anisidine value indicates the "oxidative history" of an oil or fat. Furthermore, the determination of the p-Anisidine value of an oil gives an indication of its deterioration during the frying process. The CDR FoodLab® method for the determination of p-anisidine of oils and fats simplifies the official AOCS procedure (Cd 18-90), allowing the analysis to be carried out in approximately 1 minutes using micro-quantities of sample in the unaltered state (oil or melted fat) and a single non-toxic reagent. The results are correlated with those of the reference methods.

Method

Principle of the test

Aldehydes, deriving from the secondary oxidation of fatty substances, react with p-anisidine resulting in an absorption measurable at 366 nm. The p-Anisidine value is expressed as AnV (Anisidine value).

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.
