FSTest AV & PV Rapid Test Kit for Oils

Rapid Oil Quality Monitoring for Food Safety & Quality Control

The FSTest AV & PV Rapid Test Kit is a rapid, ready-to-use testing solution designed for monitoring Acid Value (AV) and Peroxide Value (PV) in edible oils and other oil-based samples.

By enabling simultaneous or individual evaluation of these two critical indicators, the kit helps food manufacturers, restaurants, and quality control laboratories quickly assess oil freshness, oxidation status, and overall quality.

With a simple colorimetric workflow and no laboratory equipment required, reliable results can be obtained within minutes.

Why Test AV & PV?

Acid Value (AV) reflects the level of free fatty acids generated through oil hydrolysis during storage, processing, or environmental exposure. Lower AV generally indicates better oil quality and stability.

Peroxide Value (PV) measures primary oxidation products (peroxides) formed during early-stage oil deterioration. Excessive oxidation may affect flavor, shelf life, and product quality.

Routine AV and PV monitoring helps:

Control frying oil quality
Extend usable oil life
Reduce product quality risks
Support food safety and quality compliance

Simple 3-Step Testing Workflow

Part A – Peroxide Value (PV)

Step 1 – Sample Contact
Immerse the PV strip into the oil sample for approximately 5 seconds.

Step 2 – Reaction
Place the strip flat and allow reaction for 10 minutes.

Step 3 – Read Results
Remove excess oil and compare with the PV color chart.

Part B – Acid Value (AV)

Step 1 – Apply Sample
Add 2 drops of oil sample onto the AV reaction area.

Step 2 – Reaction
Allow reaction for 10 seconds.

Step 3 – Read Results
Remove excess oil and compare with the AV color chart.
