Monitor Deep-Frying Oil Quickly and Easily with MQuant® Free Fatty Acids Test Strips

Many fast food restaurants offer irresistable deep-fried dishes. However, the process of deep-frying causes oils and fats to decompose over time. One of the major by-products of decomposition is free fatty acids. When these acids exceed an acceptable threshold, they affect the quality of fried food. Hence, it is important to determine the right time to replace your oil. If done too soon, you would be wasting resources. Too late, and you risk serving food of inferior quality. The good news is that it only takes 30 seconds to find out if it’s time for an oil change. With Merck’s MQuant® Free Fatty Acids visual test strips you can easily monitor the quality of your deep-frying oil. This inexpensive method requires no special training, lab instruments or sample preparation. Simply dip the test strip in the oil or fat sample and read the results. The label shows typical threshold values to help you make quick decisions.
