About this document
Xa00078 Determination of Peroxide Application Note by Oghosa Simeon is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document provides a procedure for determining the peroxide value (POV) in fats and oils through titration. The POV indicates oxidation and rancidity, and is measured by oxidizing iodide ions to iodine from peroxides, then titrating with sodium thiosulfate. The procedure involves preparing solvent and potassium iodide solutions, obtaining a blank value, dissolving a sample in the solvent, then titrating and calculating the POV in mmol peroxide per kg of sample.
