Caring about your fry oil’s Total Polar Content
Nowadays, deep-frying food is one of the most widespread culinary and industrial cooking techniques in the world. Fried products are well perceived by customers because of their texture and distinctive flavor.
The technique of deep-fat frying involves a series of complex processes that not only affect the oil composition and the product undergoing the frying process, but also – and more importantly! – the consumer’s health.
Quality control during the manufacturing process are carefully controlled in many countries, where polar compound composition is often limited to 25%. OleoTest provides a concrete measurement that will demonstrate compliance in your food safety plan.
OleoTest is a rapid test suitable for analyzing the total polar compounds in oils used for deep frying. There are many advantages to using OleoTest:
- Easy to use: No technical skills needed; sophisticated enough for a scientist, easy enough for a home chef.
- Rapid results: 2 minutes.
- Simple: No preparation, calibration, external reagents ,or instruments are needed.
- No maintenance: No equipment to wash or dry, no repair expenses.
- Easy storage and transport: Tests are pocket-sized and can be stored at room temperature.
- Record-keeping: The test will hold stable results for months, and can be used as a record of quality control methods.
- Safe: Non-toxic reagents. No need for high temperatures; oil can be tested at 140°F. No risk of smoke, fire, or explosion.
- Correlation: OleoTest shows the best correlation to the official IUPAC-AOAC methods of quality control of any method available.
