Scope
This International Standard specifies a method for the potentiometric end-point determination of the peroxide
value, in milliequivalents of active oxygen per kilogram, of animal and vegetable fats and oils.
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 of active oxygen per kilogram. It is also applicable to margarines and fat
spreads with varying water content. The method is not applicable to milk fats or lecithins.
NOTE A method for the iodometric (visual) determination of the peroxide value is given in ISO 3960. For milk fats, a
method is specified in ISO 3976.
