Animal and vegetable fats and oils - Determination of peroxide value - Iodometric (visual) endpoint determination (ISO 3960:2017)

This document specifies a method for the iodometric determination of the peroxide value of animal and
vegetable fats and oils with a visual endpoint detection. The peroxide value is a measure of the amount
of oxygen chemically bound to an oil or fat as peroxides, particularly hydroperoxides.
The method is applicable to all animal and vegetable fats and oils, fatty acids and their mixtures with
peroxide values from 0 meq to 30 meq (milliequivalents) of active oxygen per kilogram. It is also
applicable to margarines and fat spreads with varying water content. The method is not suitable for
milk fats and is not applicable to lecithins.
It is to be noted that the peroxide value is a dynamic parameter, whose value is dependent upon the
history of the sample. Furthermore, the determination of the peroxide value is a highly empirical
procedure and the value obtained depends on the sample mass. It is stressed that, due to the prescribed
sample mass, the peroxide values obtained can be slightly lower than those obtained with a lower
sample mass.
Milk and milk products (or fat coming from milk and milk products) are excluded from the scope of this
document.
NOTE 1 A preferred method for the iodometric determination of the peroxide value for milk fats is specified in
ISO 3976.
NOTE 2 A method for the potentiometric determination of the peroxide value is given in ISO 27107.

Corps gras d'origines animale et végétale - Détermination de l'indice de peroxyde - Détermination avec point d'arrêt iodométrique (ISO 3960:2017)

ISO 3960:2017 spécifie une méthode de détermination iodométrique de l'indice de peroxyde des corps gras d'origines animale et végétale par la détection visuelle de la fin du dosage. L'indice de peroxyde est une mesure de la quantité d'oxygène chimiquement lié à une huile ou un corps gras sous forme de peroxydes, en particulier d'hydroperoxydes.
Cette méthode s'applique à tous les corps gras d'origines animale et végétale, aux acides gras et à leurs mélanges pour des indices de peroxyde compris entre 0 méq et 30 méq (milliéquivalents) d'oxygène actif par kilogramme. Elle est également applicable aux margarines et matières grasses à tartiner de teneur en eau variable. La présente méthode ne convient pas pour les matières grasses présentes dans le lait; elle ne s'applique pas non plus aux lécithines.
Il convient de noter que l'indice de peroxyde est un paramètre dynamique dont la valeur dépend de l'historique de l'échantillon. En outre, la détermination de l'indice de peroxyde est un mode opératoire très empirique et l'indice obtenu dépend de la masse de l'échantillon. Il faut remarquer que, du fait de la masse d'échantillon spécifiée, les indices de peroxyde obtenus peuvent être légèrement inférieurs à ceux obtenus avec des masses d'échantillon plus faibles.
Le lait et les produits laitiers (ou les corps gras issus du lait et des produits laitiers) sont exclus du domaine d'application du présent document.
NOTE 1       Une méthode préférable pour la détermination iodométrique de l'indice de peroxyde pour les matières grasses présentes dans le lait est spécifiée dans l'ISO 3976.
NOTE 2       Une méthode de détermination potentiométrique de l'indice de peroxyde est donnée dans l'ISO 27107.

Živalske in rastlinske maščobe in olja - Ugotavljanje peroksidnega števila - Jodometrično (vizualno) določanje končne točke (ISO 3960:2017)

Ta dokument določa metodo za idiometrično določevanje peroksidnega števila živalskih in rastlinskih masti in olj z vizualnim zaznavanjem končne točke. Peroksidno število je merilo za količino kisika, kemijsko vezanega z oljem ali maščobo v obliki peroksidov, zlasti hidroperoksidov.
Metoda se uporablja za vse vrste živalskih in rastlinskih masti in olj, maščobne kisline ter njihovih mešanic s peroksidnim številom od 0 do 30 meq (miliekvivalentov) aktivnega kisika na kilogram. Uporablja se tudi za margarine in maščobne namaze z različno vsebnostjo vode. Metoda ni primerna za mlečne maščobe in se ne uporablja za lecitine.
Upoštevati je treba, da je peroksidno število dinamični parameter, katerega vrednost je odvisna od zgodovine vzorca. Poleg tega je določevanje peroksidnega števila izredno empiričen postopek, pridobljena vrednost pa je odvisna od vzorčne mase. Treba je poudariti, da je lahko zaradi predpisane vzorčne mase pridobljeno peroksidno število nekoliko nižje od števila, pridobljenega z nižjo vzorčno maso.
Mleko in mlečni izdelki (ali maščoba iz mleka in mlečnih izdelkov) niso zajeti v tem dokumentu.
OPOMBA 1 A: Priporočljiva metoda za idiometrično določevanje peroksidnega števila mlečnih maščob je podana v standardu ISO 3976.
OPOMBA 2 A: Metoda za potenciometrično določevanje peroksidnega števila je opredeljena podana v standardu ISO 27107.

Introduction
Over a period of many years, various methods have been developed for the determination of peroxides
in fats and oils. The general principle of most of the methods is the liberation of iodine from potassium
iodide in an acid medium. The method according to Wheeler was standardized more than 50 years
ago by different standardization bodies, and it is widely used to control commodities by producers,
receivers and official laboratories. In national and international food legislation (including the Codex
Alimentarius), acceptable limits for the peroxide values are often specified. Due to anomalies in the
reproducibility of the results, it was noticed that there are slight differences between the standardized
methods. A very important point is the dependence of the result on the amount of sample used for
the determination. As the determination of the peroxide value (PV) is a highly empirical procedure,
ISO/TC 34/SC 11 has decided to fix the sample mass at 5 g for PV greater than 1, and at 10 g for PV less
than or equal to 1, and to limit the applicability of this method to animal and vegetable fats and oils
with peroxide values from 0 meq to 30 meq of active oxygen per kilogram. The user of this document
should be aware that the results obtained can be slightly lower than with previous standards.

Animal and vegetable fats and oils — Determination

determination
1 Scope
This document specifies a method for the iodometric determination of the peroxide value of animal and
vegetable fats and oils with a visual endpoint detection. The peroxide value is a measure of the amount
of oxygen chemically bound to an oil or fat as peroxides, particularly hydroperoxides.
The method is applicable to all animal and vegetable fats and oils, fatty acids and their mixtures with
peroxide values from 0 meq to 30 meq (milliequivalents) of active oxygen per kilogram. It is also
applicable to margarines and fat spreads with varying water content. The method is not suitable for
milk fats and is not applicable to lecithins.
It is to be noted that the peroxide value is a dynamic parameter, whose value is dependent upon the
history of the sample. Furthermore, the determination of the peroxide value is a highly empirical
procedure and the value obtained depends on the sample mass. It is stressed that, due to the prescribed
sample mass, the peroxide values obtained can be slightly lower than those obtained with a lower
sample mass.
Milk and milk products (or fat coming from milk and milk products) are excluded from the scope of this
document.
NOTE 1 A preferred method for the iodometric determination of the peroxide value for milk fats is specified in
ISO 3976.
NOTE 2 A method for the potentiometric determination of the peroxide value is given in ISO 27107.
