Oxidative stability of edible oils: linking rancimat to PDSC results
摘要
The oxidative stabilities of avocado, macadamia, marula and moringa oils were determined at different temperatures using Rancimat analysis and also with pressure differential scanning calorimetry (PDSC) at different scan rates. The experimental data were regressed using the single-step kinetics approximation. The estimated activation energies and the characteristic time constants obtained by the two methods were found to differ. These differences were considered in the construction of an expression that links the Rancimat oxidation induction time (OIt = tR) to the oxidation onset temperature (OOT = Tonset):
