ISO 27107 Standard Test Method for Animal and Vegetable Fats and Oils, Determination of Peroxide Value, Determination of Potentiometric Endpoint

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of ISO 27107 test standard. ISO 27107 specifies a method for the potentiometric endpoint determination of the peroxide value of animal and vegetable fats and oils in milliequivalents of active oxygen per kilogram.

The method is applicable to all animal and vegetable fats and oils, fatty acids and their mixtures with peroxide values ​​of 0 meq to 30 meq active oxygen per kilogram.

It also applies to margarines and spreads with varying water content. The method does not apply to milk fats or lecithins.

Various methods have been developed for the determination of peroxides in fats and oils for many years. Its general principles are the liberation of iodine from potassium iodide in an acid environment. Acceptable limits for peroxide values ​​are often specified in national and international food legislation.

Due to abnormalities in the reproducibility of the results, minor differences were noticed between the standardized methods. A very important point is that the result depends on the amount of sample used for the determination.
