Abstract
The AOCS official method for the determination of free fatty acids (FFAs) i s used for monitoring the extent of deterioration in deep-frying oils. Whil e it is accurate and reliable it is far too subjective and time-consuming a s it depends on the identification of a clear end point. The VERI-FRI(R) PR O FFA-75 quick test proved to be a fast and reliable alternative procedure for measuring FFAs and, in addition, was far more environmentally friendly.
