Abstract
A modified method for peroxide value (POV) determination of lipids was developed through the application of potentiometry to conventional POV tests such as the official method of the Japan Oil Chemists’ Society (JOCS). The new method permits a simple and reliable determination of low hydroperoxide levels in the initial stages of lipid autoxidation when only very small amounts of sample are available, even when those levels are measured on less than 10 mg of lipid. Using the present method, hydroperoxide levels as low as 20 nanoequivalents (neq) were determined with reasonable precision. This method is applicable to all lipids tested including oils and fats, free fatty acids, phospholipids, glycolipids and cholesterol esters.Keywords
