About this document

Peroxide Value Determination Method by Ressa Aja is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This document describes a titration method for determining the peroxide value of oils and fats. The method involves dissolving a sample in acetic acid-chloroform solution, then adding potassium iodide and titrating with sodium thiosulfate until the yellow color disappears. A starch indicator is used and titration continues until the blue color disappears. The peroxide value is calculated based on the titration results. The method also specifies how to prepare and standardize the reagents used.
