FSTest Acid Value (AV) & Peroxide Value (PV) Rapid Test Kit - Fast Detection of Oil Rancidity and Degradation in Cooking Oils
The FSTest Acid Value and Peroxide Value Rapid Test Kit is a convenient, semi-quantitative colorimetric testing tool for evaluating the quality and freshness of edible oils. It detects both acid value (AV) and peroxide value (PV) — two critical indicators of oil hydrolysis and oxidation.
Designed for on-site screening, this test requires no sample pretreatment, provides clear color-based results within minutes, and is suitable for use in oil production facilities, restaurants, kitchens, and regulatory inspections.

Why Test AV & PV in Edible Oils?
1.Acid Value (AV) measures free fatty acids (FFA), which increase as oil breaks down due to heat, light, or microbial activity.
2.Peroxide Value (PV) reflects the formation of primary oxidation products, indicating early-stage rancidity.
3.High AV or PV can compromise taste, nutrition, and safety, potentially leading to digestive issues or liver stress.
