Hygiena Oleotest is a colourimetric assay that measures total polar compounds in frying fats in 2 minutes. This easy-to-use test kit is suitable for food industries, restaurants, kitchens, hotels, and the catering industry, among others. The Oleotest gives you accurate, immediate results and the colour results are stable for months. This allows the test itself to be kept as a registry in the scope of HACCP or food safety systems. The quality control of the Oleotests is continuously verified by independent entities. Oleotest is ideal for seeds oils (sunflower, corn, peanut, etc.) It can also be used for palm oil, coconut oil and rice bran oil. These test kits are easy to carry/store and do not require any maintenance.

In the frying process, the fat/oil is exposed to atmospheric oxygen and moisture at high temperatures for a long time. This results in many chemical reactions taking place during frying fat. These reactions produce a number of harmful compounds that can increase the risk of several health problems e.g. stomach or lung cancer. Because of this, many countries have made it a law to monitor the quality of frying oils.
