OXITEST is an innovative reactor for accelerated oxidation stability testing, allowing evaluation of fat and oil resistance to oxidation in a much shorter time compared to traditional methods. Oxidation processes that usually take weeks or months can now be simulated in a short period, delivering precise and reliable results. OXITEST is widely used in food, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and petrochemical industries, where controlling product stability and quality is essential.
OXITEST applies high oxidative stress to rapidly assess a sample’s resistance to oxidation. The sample is subjected to:
The test is performed directly on the entire sample, whether solid, liquid, or doughy, without the need for extraction. This ensures representative results, considering the presence of chemical oxidants and transition metals, which can accelerate oxidation.
OXITEST enables the evaluation of raw material quality, storage conditions, packaging impact, and formulation optimization, providing valuable insights for quality control and product development.
OXITEST results are expressed through the Induction Period (IP), which indicates the time required to reach the oxidation starting point. The IP value reflects:
A longer IP means higher stability. This allows manufacturers to make informed decisions regarding new product development, formulation changes, and packaging selection to extend shelf life and enhance product quality.
OXITEST is fully controlled via OXISoft™ software, enabling simultaneous management of up to four devices and offering:
Additionally, OXITEST supports the VELP Ermes cloud platform, allowing remote monitoring of tests in real time via PC, smartphone, or tablet. This reduces manual interventions and enhances laboratory automation and efficiency.
