Abstract:
      Aiming to provide a complete experimental data basis for Method 4 of GB 5009.229-2025,the cupric acetate-pyridine colorimetry method, a specific detection method for free fatty acids (FFA) in oily foods, was validated through specificity tests, antiinterference tests, spiked recovery experiments,and repeatability experiments, together with a collaborative comparative validation involving ten representative laboratories nationwide. The results showed that the color intensity of the method was essentially consistent for FFA with a carbon chain length of not less than 8, and was not affected by the number of unsaturated double bonds in FFA. It effectively eliminated interference from non-FFA acidic substances. The limits of quantification (LOQ) were 0.10 mg/g for liquid oils and 0.20 mg/g for solid fats. The spiked recoveries for the oils extracted from various foods range from 94.5% to 104.4%, the repeatability relative standard deviations were all less than 4.0% with good reproducibility. In summary, this method has strong specificity and reliable results, meeting the requirements for the determination of acid value in various oily foods.
