  • Methods and devices for monitoring of frying oil quality
    Patent number: 8325345
    Abstract: Herein are disclosed methods and devices for evaluating the quality of oils (e.g., cooking oil or flying oil). The methods can provide an indication of the free fatty acid content of the oil. The methods use an optical interrogation device to provide an indication of free fatty acid based on quantitative measurements of optical reflectance from test zones on a sampling substrate.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 2, 2009
    Date of Patent: December 4, 2012
    Assignee: 3M Innovative Properties Company
    Inventors: Abolghassem B. Mahmoodi, Milind Balwant Sabade, Ai-Ping Wei
  • Monitoring of frying oil quality using combined optical interrogation methods and devices
    Patent number: 8257976
    Abstract: Herein are disclosed methods and devices for optically monitoring multiple parameters of an oil sample. In one embodiment, the methods and devices can be used for determining the quality of cooking or flying oil in terms of the free fatty acid content and total polar compound content of the oil. The methods use an optical absorbtive/reflective property in evaluating the free fatty acid content, and use optical fluorescence in evaluating the total polar compound content, with both measurements using a single sampling substrate and a single measuring device.
