What does an Oxitest reactor do?

The OXITEST reactor subjects the sample to a high oxidative stress environment in order to evaluate, in a short period of time, the resistance to fat oxidation:

• Established over-pressure of pure oxygen (6 bar, degree 5.0)
• High constant temperature, 90 °C

What are the advantages of an Oxitest

With the OXITEST Method, the stability test is performed directly on the sample as it is solid, liquid or doughy.
The method's key advantage is that the OXITEST ensures representative results without extensive sample preparation.

How to read the results of an Oxitest

The results of the OXITEST are expressed through the IP Induction Period. 
The IP is the time required to reach the starting point of oxidation, corresponding to either a level of detectable rancidity or a sudden change in the rate of oxidation.
The longer the Induction Period, the higher the stability against oxidation over time. 

VELP oxidation chambers are made of titanium

The oxidation chambers, sample holders, and covers are made of titanium, a premium material guaranteeing:

• High resistance
• Excellent chemical compatibility;
• Easy cleaning
• Cost savings since no disposable consumables are required.
