Principle of Principle of RancimatRancimat MethodMethod
StabilityQuality Assessment of Fats/OilsQuality Assessment of Fats/OilsRancimat test = accelerated oxidation test
at elevated temperatureunder exposure of air
faster autoxidation in a few hours instead of weeks/months
StabilityPrinciple of Principle of RancimatRancimat MethodMethod
fatty acids are oxidised by oxygen from air
low molecular organic acids are formed
organic acids stripped out of the oil by air flow
