Abstract

Recycling cooking oils in daily life is a common thing to do for some people to reduce the costs. However, this habit will lead to an unhealthy lifestyle. Reheating oil undergoes a series of chemical changes such as oxidation and hydrolysis, which will produce some harmful substances that will generate lipid peroxidation that could possibly be dangerous to human health. This experiment is conducted on how to detect the turbidity of the oil by using a simple experimental setup.
