Why Test Peroxide in Oil?
Peroxide value is the primary indicator of oil oxidation and rancidity. Regular testing helps food processors ensure product freshness, predict shelf life, maintain quality standards, and comply with international regulations. High peroxide values indicate oxidative degradation that affects flavor, aroma, and nutritional value.
Simple Operation
Add the MI590-021 reagent to your oil sample, shake twice to mix, place the vial in the photometer holder, and press READ. The MI490 automatically determines peroxide concentration based on color development—delivering accurate, objective results without subjective interpretation.
