Abstract

This study compares the ageing process of heated oil with unheated oil and assesses the effect of container used in heating on ageing. Four types of oils were heated on glass, copper and iron. The samples were allowed to age for 1 year. Unheated oils generally produce peroxide faster (for unheated maximum increase in 6-month is 2907 % from 1.351 to 40.627 but for heated maximum increase is 6574 % from 1.91 to 127.476). But they develop secondary oxidation products slowly (for unheated maximum increase in 6-month is 884 % from 1.553 to 15.29 but for heated maximum increase is 191 % from 6.42 to 18.72). For most oil heating in copper produce more p-anisidine value during ageing. The acid value of only unheated oils decreases between 6 months to 1 year. For the 1st six-month rate of increase in saponification value in unheated oil is much higher. The DPPH inhibition activity also changes differently.
