Abstract
A process and test kit for the rapid qualitative determination of fat oxidation based on an iodometric method for peroxide value and employing ready-made test solutions is disclosed. A visible color change is used to determine whether a fat sample contains an amount of fat peroxides in excess of a predetermined amount, and is therefore unacceptable.
