Research progress in analysis methods of peroxide value in edible oils

This paper gave a brief introductory discussion on the oxidation process,mechanism and products of edible oils,especially vegetable oils containing much of unsaturated fatty acid which are prone to be oxidized.The review systematically expounded the status,advantage and limits of various analytical methods including chemical methods,physical methods and electroanalytical methods in the determination of peroxide value of edible oils.It is a desirable trend to develop some rapid,simple, accurate and practical methods for detecting peroxide value of edible oils with a little oil sample and reagent or without reagent,meanwhile,with high efficiency.
