Monitoring scheme for oxygen barrier performance of plastic peanut oil barrel

Abstract: Oils and fats are sensitive to oxygen, and peanut oil is no exception. This paper monitors the amount of oxygen that peanut oil may be exposed to during the storage period from the perspective of oxygen barrier performance of plastic peanut oil barrels, and introduces the detection process of oxygen permeation, the test principle and equipment parameters of the OX2/230 oxygen transmission rate test system. The company provides reference for testing the oxygen barrier test method or test equipment for containers such as peanut oil barrels.

1 , meaning

Peanut oil is a common edible oil. It is light yellow, has a fragrant smell, pure taste, high unsaturated fatty acid content, lowers total cholesterol and harmful cholesterol in the blood, regulates blood lipids, prevents cardiovascular diseases, and is rich in peanut oil. Resveratrol, vitamin E , phospholipids and other beneficial substances, have anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, anti-oxidation, anti-cancer, protect the blood vessel wall and other effects. Like other oils and fats, peanut oil is an easily oxidizable oil. During storage and use, when it is exposed to enough oxygen, it will undergo auto-oxidation reaction, while some metal ions in heat, light and peanut oil Under the action, it will accelerate the oxidative rancidity and deterioration, causing the destruction of nutrients such as fatty acids in peanut oil, producing harmful substances such as peroxides, aldehydes and ketones, and long-term consumption of such oxidized rancid oils will promote aging. It is likely to induce cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and tumors. Therefore, minimizing the oxygen content in contact with peanut oil is an important measure to prevent the oxidative rancidity of peanut oil and ensure good oil quality during storage.

Commonly used packaging materials for edible oils in the market include PET barrels, PE barrels, tinplate tins, glass bottles, etc. Among them, tinplate can meet the storage requirements of edible oils in terms of barrier properties and light protection, but the cost is high. . The packaging of peanut oil is common with PET barrels, and the bottom of the barrel or barrel is marked with the number 1 .

2 , reference standard

At present, there is no detection standard for oxygen permeability of containers in China. The detection process of this paper is based on ASTM F1307-2002 (2007) "Standard Test Method for Determination of Oxygen Permeability of Solid Packages by Using Electricity Sensors".

3 , test samples

In this paper, a peanut oil barrel for packaging in a peanut oil production enterprise is used as a test sample to introduce the detection method of oxygen barrier performance of the packaging container.

4 , test equipment

ASTM F1307 specifies the oxygen transmission rate of the packaging container by isostatic pressing. Therefore, the oxygen barrier performance of the sample is tested by the OX2/230 oxygen permeation test system independently developed by Jinan Languang Electromechanical Technology Co., Ltd.

4.1 Equipment Principle

The OX2/230 oxygen transmission rate test system uses the isostatic test principle to clamp the pre-treated sample between the test chambers. Oxygen or air flows on one side of the film, and high-purity nitrogen on the other side of the film. Flowing, oxygen molecules diffuse through the membrane to the other side of the high purity nitrogen and are carried to the sensor by the flowing nitrogen. By analyzing the oxygen concentration measured by the sensor, parameters such as oxygen transmission rate are calculated. For packaging containers, high purity nitrogen flows through the container, and air or high purity oxygen surrounds the outside of the container.
