PMA 500: Fast and reliable testing for 2-Methyloxolane residues in edible oils
Flash point testing according to ISO 15267 enables quick determination of residual 2-methyloxolane in edible oils. Using the PMA 500 ensures precise temperature control and highly reproducible results, allowing reliable verification of solvent removal at the expected 121 °C flash point.
As the edible oil industry increasingly explores sustainable alternatives to hexane due to environmental and health concerns, 2-methyloxolane has emerged as a promising bio-based extraction solvent derived from renewable resources. Following extraction, residual solvent levels must be carefully monitored to ensure product quality and compliance. The report shows that flash point determination with PMA 500 provides a practical and rapid screening method for verifying solvent removal before more detailed analyses, such as gas chromatography, are carried out.
