RAPID TEST DETECTING TOTAL POLAR COMPOUNDS IN FRYING FATS AND OILS
Qualis Oleum is a quick test for the semi-quantitative detection of TPC (Total Polar Compounds) in frying fats. Ideal for everyday quality control of vegetable oils (sunflower oil, corn, peanut, etc.).
It is an excellent solution for fast foods, restaurants, hotels, supermarkets, caterings, food industries, etc. Acrylamide does not naturally occur in cooking oil, but when starchy foods such as potatoes are fried with re-used oil, then acrylamide levels can reach dangerously high levels. Increasing the concentration of acrylamide in cooking oil can be particularly harmful to the consumers of the products.
It is accepted by the scientific community that high levels of TPCs contain high levels of acrylamide . It is universally accepted that daily monitoring of TPC levels of cooking oil is essential to ensure its quality.
CHARACTERISTICS
Sample
Preheated specimen at 60°C or no preheated specimen at 20°C
