  • Method for detecting the rancidity of oilseeds, seeds and nuts
    Patent number: 11073506
    Abstract: Establishing a rancidity index table and allocating a rancidity index value to an absorption or reflection spectrum of oil fruits, nuts and seeds (2) comprises: irradiating a sample of an oil fruit, a nut or a seed (2) with a light source (3), projecting the reflected and/or transmitted light onto a photosensor (4), detecting the absorption or reflection spectrum by means of the photosensor (4), extracting ingredients of the sample by determining volatile compounds, separating volatile components of the sample by means of gas chromatography, identifying separated volatile components by mass spectroscopic detection of relevant ones, determining a rancidity index value of the sample from identified volatile components of the sample, allocating the detected absorption or reflection spectrum of the sample to the rancidity index value, repeating the previous steps for a representative number of samples and forming a rancidity table from the determined rancidity index values and allocated absorption or reflectio
