| Test Item | Common Testing Method | Method Overview |
|---|---|---|
| Oleic Acid Content | Gas Chromatography (GC) | The sample is derivatized into fatty acid methyl esters and separated by gas chromatography. Oleic acid content is detected using a hydrogen flame ionization detector (FID) and quantified by comparison with standard substances. |
| Purity | High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) | Reversed-phase chromatographic column is used to separate oleic acid from other fatty acids or impurities. A UV detector measures the components, and purity is calculated via peak area normalization or external standard method. |
| Iodine Value (Degree of Unsaturation) | Iodometric Method (Wijs Method) | Utilizes the addition reaction between double bonds in oleic acid and iodine. The amount of absorbed iodine is measured to calculate the iodine value, indicating the degree of unsaturation. |
| Acid Value | Acid-Base Titration | The free fatty acids in the sample are titrated with a standard potassium hydroxide ethanol solution. The acid value is expressed as the milligrams of KOH required to neutralize one gram of sample. |
| Peroxide Value | Potassium Iodide Colorimetric Method | Peroxides in the sample oxidize potassium iodide to release iodine, which is then titrated with a standard sodium thiosulfate solution. The peroxide value is calculated based on the amount of iodine liberated. |
| Refractive Index | Refractometer Method | The refractive index of oleic acid is measured using an Abbe refractometer at a specified temperature (usually 20°C or 25°C), used for identification and purity assessment. |
| Density | Pyknometer Method or Digital Density Meter | Density is determined by measuring the mass of a known volume of oleic acid, used for verifying physical properties and preliminary screening of impurities. |
| Color | Colorimeter Method (e.g., Platinum-Cobalt Color Scale) | The color intensity of oleic acid is measured using a colorimeter or visual comparison method to evaluate refining extent and potential oxidation or contamination. |
| Moisture and Volatile Matter | Karl Fischer Titration | An electrochemical method used to determine trace moisture content in the sample, suitable for high-precision moisture control. |
| Heavy Metal Residues | Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) or ICP-MS | After sample digestion, levels of heavy metals such as lead, arsenic, and cadmium are measured to ensure compliance with food safety or industrial standards. |
