Description:
Acidity defined as percentage oleic acid is a parameter that
indicates olive oil freshness: a high acidity value indicates the oil
quality has diminished and is at risk of becoming rancid.
Acidity
expressed in percentage of oleic acid is used to discriminate an extra
virgin olive oil from other olive oils. According to the CEE 2568/91
regulation, olive oil is considered extra virgin when its acidity level
is below 1%. A low acidity value also indicates an extraction process
made soon after olive harvesting and with natural, non-chemical methods.
The
HI 3897 kit utilizes a titration method where the end-point
determination is visually apparent as color change from yellow-green to
pink.
