OXITEST Oxidation Stability Reactor

Innovative accelerated oxidation test for the determination of the oxidation stability of fats on the whole sample according to AOCS Cd-12c-16.

Fats and oils oxidation stability tests for R&D and QC Labs
The oxidation stability tests performed with the OXITEST reactor accelerate the lipid's oxidation process that in normal conditions can last weeks or months and provide fast, accurate and reliable results for Food & Feed, Cosmetic, Pharma and Petrochemical industries.

The OXITEST provides added value information for Quality Control and Research & Development Labs for:

Quality control of raw materials and ingredients
Transportation and effects on goods
Storage period studies
Product Development and behavior
Formula Optimization
Ingredient and alternative ingredients testing
Process optimization
Packaging study and alternative packaging comparison

Representative results testing the whole sample
The OXITEST reactor subjects the sample to a high oxidative stress environment in order to evaluate, in a short period of time, the resistance to fat oxidation:

Established over-pressure of pure oxygen (6 bar, degree 5.0)
High constant temperature, 90 °C
With the OXITEST Method, the stability test is performed directly on the sample as it is solid, liquid or doughy.

The method's key advantage is that the OXITEST ensures representative results without extensive sample preparation.

Other components of the sample matrix such as chemical oxidants or transition metal can promote oxidation and the use of extracted matter may not be a suitable predictor of stability.
