Animal and vegetable fats and oils - Determination of oxidative stability (accelerated oxidation test) (ISO 6886:2016)

ISO 6886:2016 specifies a method for the determination of the oxidative stability of fats and oils under extreme conditions that induce rapid oxidation: high temperature and high air flow. It does not allow determination of the stability of fats and oils at ambient temperatures, but it does allow a comparison of the efficacy of antioxidants added to fats and oils.
The method is applicable to both virgin and refined animal and vegetable fats and oils. Milk and milk products (or fat coming from milk and milk products) are excluded from the scope of this International Standard.
NOTE          The presence of volatile fatty acids and volatile acidic oxidation products prevents accurate measurement.

Tierische und pflanzliche Fette und Öle - Bestimmung der Oxidationsstabilität (beschleunigter Oxidationstest) (ISO 6886:2016)

Diese Internationale Norm legt ein Verfahren zur Bestimmung der Oxidationsstabilität von Fetten und Ölen unter extremen Bedingungen fest, die eine schnelle Oxidation bewirken: hohe Temperatur und starker Luftstrom. Das Verfahren ermöglicht nicht die Bestimmung der Stabilität von Fetten und Ölen bei Umgebungstemperaturen, es lässt jedoch einen Vergleich der Wirksamkeit von den Fetten und Ölen zugesetzten Antioxi¬dantien zu.
Das Verfahren ist sowohl auf native als auch auf raffinierte tierische und pflanzliche Fette und Öle anwendbar. Milch und Milcherzeugnisse (oder Fett aus Milch und Milcherzeugnissen) sind vom Anwendungsbereich dieser Internationalen Norm ausgenommen.
ANMERKUNG   Das Vorliegen von flüchtigen Fettsäuren und flüchtigen sauren Oxidationsprodukten verhindert eine genaue Messung.

Corps gras d'origines animale et végétale - Détermination de la stabilité à l'oxydation (essai d'oxydation accéléré) (ISO 6886:2016)

L'ISO 6886:2016 spécifie une méthode de détermination de la stabilité à l'oxydation des corps gras dans des conditions extrêmes qui entraînent une oxydation rapide, à savoir température et débit d'air élevés. Cette méthode ne permet pas de déterminer la stabilité des corps gras à température ambiante mais elle permet de comparer l'efficacité des antioxydants ajoutés aux corps gras.
Elle est applicable aux corps gras d'origines animale et végétale vierges et raffinés. Le lait et les produits laitiers (ou la graisse provenant du lait et des produits laitiers) sont exclus du domaine d'application de la présente Norme internationale.
NOTE       La présence d'acides gras volatils et de produits d'oxydation acides volatils empêche de procéder à des mesurages précis.

Živalske in rastlinske maščobe in olja - Določevanje oksidativne stabilnosti (metoda s pospešeno oksidacijo) (ISO 6886:2016)

Ta mednarodni standard določa metodo za določevanje oksidativne stabilnosti maščob in olj v izrednih pogojih, ki povzročajo hitro oksidacijo: visoka temperatura in velik zračni tok. Standard ne omogoča določevanja stabilnosti maščob in olj pri temperaturah okolja, omogoča pa primerjavo učinkovitosti antioksidantov, ki se dodajo maščobam in oljem.
Metoda se uporablja tako za deviške kot rafinirane rastlinske in živalske maščobe ter olja. Mleko in mlečni izdelki (ali maščoba iz mleka in mlečnih izdelkov) niso zajeti v tem mednarodnem standardu.
OPOMBA: Prisotnost hlapnih maščobnih kislin in oksidativnih produktov hlapne kisline preprečuje natančno merjenje.

Overview

EN ISO 6886:2016 - Animal and vegetable fats and oils: Determination of oxidative stability (accelerated oxidation test) specifies an accelerated laboratory method to measure the oxidative stability (induction period) of virgin and refined animal and vegetable fats and oils. The test exposes samples to high temperature and high air flow to induce rapid oxidation and records the time until volatile acidic oxidation products cause a rapid rise in water conductivity. The method is intended for comparing antioxidant efficacy and product quality; it is not a measure of stability at ambient temperatures. Milk fats and milk-derived products are excluded.

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Principle: Heated sample is aerated; oxidation volatiles are swept into demineralized water and detected by a conductivity electrode. The end of the induction period is when conductivity rises sharply.
  • Temperature: Typical test temperatures are 100 °C to 120 °C. Optimal induction period is 6–24 hours. A 10 °C change roughly halves or doubles the induction period.
  • Air flow: Air flow is typically 10 L/h, with a maximum permitted deviation of ±1.0 L/h (or equivalent pressure for specific instruments).
  • Apparatus: Commercial instruments (e.g., Rancimat or equivalent) include:
    • Air filter with molecular sieve (beads ≈1 mm, pore size 0.3 nm; dried at 150 °C)
    • Gas diaphragm pump and flow controller
    • Aeration vessels and sealed measurement cells
    • Conductivity electrodes (measuring range ~0–300 µS/cm)
    • Heating block (up to 150 °C ±0.1 °C) and temperature control
  • Reagents & sample prep: Use analytical-grade reagents and demineralized/distilled water. ISO 661 is referenced for test-sample preparation.
  • Limitations: Presence of volatile fatty acids or volatile acidic oxidation products can interfere and prevent accurate measurement.

Applications

  • Comparing antioxidant efficacy in edible oils, frying fats, and oleochemical products
  • Quality control in edible oil refining and storage studies
  • Product development and shelf-life screening under accelerated conditions
  • Research on oxidative behavior of new oil blends, seed oils, and animal fats

Who uses this standard

  • Food and oil industry QC laboratories
  • R&D teams in edible oils, margarine, and fat-based ingredient manufacturers
  • Certification and regulatory laboratories performing method validation or comparative testing
  • Instrument manufacturers and service providers supplying Rancimat/OSI-type equipment

Related standards

  • ISO 661 - Preparation of test sample (normative reference for sample preparation)
  • ISO/TC 34 (Food products) provides the technical committee context for fats and oils methods

Keywords: EN ISO 6886:2016, oxidative stability, accelerated oxidation test, fats and oils, Rancimat, induction period, conductivity, antioxidants, animal and vegetable fats and oils.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 6886:2016(E)
Animal and vegetable fats and oils — Determination of
oxidative stability (accelerated oxidation test)
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies a method for the determination of the oxidative stability of fats
and oils under extreme conditions that induce rapid oxidation: high temperature and high air flow. It
does not allow determination of the stability of fats and oils at ambient temperatures, but it does allow
a comparison of the efficacy of antioxidants added to fats and oils.
The method is applicable to both virgin and refined animal and vegetable fats and oils. Milk and milk
products (or fat coming from milk and milk products) are excluded from the scope of this International
Standard.
NOTE The presence of volatile fatty acids and volatile acidic oxidation products prevents accurate
measurement.
2 Normative references
The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are
indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated
references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.
ISO 661, Animal and vegetable fats and oils — Preparation of test sample
3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
induction period
time between the start of the measurement and the time when the formation of oxidation products
rapidly begins to increase
3.2
oxidative stability
induction period, expressed in hours, determined according to the procedure specified in this
International Standard
Note 1 to entry: A temperature of 100 °C to 120 °C is usually applied for the determination of oxidative stability.
Depending on the oxidative stability of the sample under test, or when an extrapolation of regression is required,
the determination may be carried out at other temperatures. The optimal induction period is between 6 h to
24 h. A temperature increase or decrease of 10 °C decreases or increases the induction period by a factor of
approximately 2.
3.3
conductivity
ability of a material to conduct electric current
4 Principle
A stream of purified air is passed through the sample, which has been brought to a specified
temperature. The gases released during the oxidation process, together with the air, are passed
into a flask containing water that has been demineralized or distilled and contains an electrode for
ISO 6886:2016(E)
measuring the conductivity. The electrode is connected to a measuring and recording device. The end
of the induction period is indicated when the conductivity begins to increase rapidly. This accelerated
increase is caused by the accumulation of volatile fatty acids produced during oxidation.
5 Reagents and materials
Use only reagents of recognized analytical grade, and distilled or demineralized water.
5.1 Molecular sieve, beads of approximately 1 mm diameter, pore size 0,3 nm, with moisture indicator.
The molecular sieve should be dried in an oven set at 150 °C and then cooled down to room temperature
in a desiccator.
5.2 Acetone.
5.3 Alkaline cleaning solution, for laboratory glassware.
5.4 Glycerol.
5.5 Thermostable oil.
6 Apparatus
Usual laboratory equipment and, in particular, the following.
6.1 Appliance for the determination of oxidative stability
See Figures 1 and 2 for diagrammatic representations.
NOTE An appliance for determining oxidative stability can be obtained commercially under the trade name
1)
Rancimat, from Metrohm AG, Herisau, Switzerland, or the OSI equipment from Omnion Inc., USA.
6.1.1 Air filter, comprising a tube fitted with filter paper at each end and filled with molecular sieve
(5.1), connected to the suction end of a pump.
6.1.2 Gas diaphragm pump, with an adjustable flow rate of 10 l/h, in combination with an apparatus to
control the flow rate, manually or automatically, with a maximum deviation of ±1,0 l/h from the set value.
NOTE For the OSI instrument, a pressure of 5,5 psi is equivalent to a flow of approximately 10 l/h.
6.1.3 Aeration vessels of borosilicate glass (usually eight), connected to a sealing cap.
The sealing cap shall be fitted with a gas inlet and outlet tube. The cylindrical part of the vessel shall
preferably be narrower by a few centimetres below the top in order to break up any emerging foam. An
artificial foam blocker (e.g. glass ring) may also be used for this purpose.
6.1.4 Closed measurement cells (usually eight), of approximately 150 ml capacity, with a gas inlet
tube extending to the bottom inside of the vessel.
The cell shall be provided at the top with ventilation holes.
