Rk. Chavan et al., QUANTIFICATION OF QUALITATIVE BAUDOUIN TEST FOR THE DETECTION OF SESAME OIL, Journal of Food Science and Technology, 31(5), 1994, pp. 433-434
For quantification of the qualitative Baudouin test, a simple spectrop
hotometric method was standardized for the estimation of sesamol, a ph
enolic substance found in sesame oil. Different admixtures of conventi
onal oils containing 1.0 to 5.0% sesame oil were prepared, examined fo
r total sesamol concentration, and the corresponding red units measure
d in a 1-cm cell, on Lovibond scale are reported. The data indicated g
ood correlation among these tests.
