Total oxidation value (TOTOX) of fats and oils

The TOTOX value gives an indication of overall oxidation in fats and oils. It is calculated using indicative values for primary oxidation products (peroxide value) and secondary oxidation products (p-Anisidine value).

For TOTOX value determination, peroxide and p-Anisidine analyses are performed and their results are reported along with the total oxidation value.

Testing is suitable for animal and vegetable fats and oils, fatty acids, and their mixtures. Milk fats and lecithin cannot be analyzed.
