Determination of the Oxidation Stability of Fats and Oils with the OXITEST AOCS International Standard Procedure (Cd 12c-16)

1 Mar 2017

This application note describes the Oxitest Method, an Internationally recognized analytical technique for the determination of the oxidation stability of food, fats and oils. The Oxitest is carried out using an OXITEST reactor, which subjects the sample to a high-oxidative stress environment in order to evaluate the resistance to fat oxidation. The Oxitest Method yields accurate and reliable results in a short period of time.

OXITEST - Oxidation Stability Reactor

Velp Scientifica

The OXITEST is designed for R&D and QC for the study of the behaviour of fat oxidation stability. The OXITEST speeds up the oxidation process and measures the absolute pressure change of oxygen inside the two titanium heating chambers at a constant temperature, thus monitoring the oxygen uptake by reactive components in the sample and automatically generating an IP value for further analysis via software.
