Abstract

The induction time for oxidative stability by the Rancimat method has been compared with peroxide development during storage at 20°C for six edible oils and rapeseed oil samples with added metal ions, antioxidants or phosphatidylethanolamine. The Rancimat method correlated highly (r=0.966;P=0.000) with oil stability measured by peroxide development for all samples except the oils containing added phosphatidylethanolamine or added butylated hydroxytoluene.
