OXITEST

VELP Scientifica | Oxidation Stability Reactor

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 chemicalor transition metal can promote oxidation andthe use of extracted matter may not be a suitablepredictor of stability.
