Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of edible oil testing technology, and specifically relates to a device for rapid quantitative detection of acid value in frying oil. Background Technology
[0002] Acid value, also known as neutralization value, acidity, or acidity, refers to the number of milligrams of potassium hydroxide or sodium hydroxide required to neutralize the free fatty acids in 1 gram of oil. It is a measurement standard for the number of free carboxylic acid groups in a compound (such as fatty acids) or mixture. Measuring acid value can assess the freshness and quality of oils. Fresh, pure oils obtained from normal raw materials have very low acid values, not exceeding 2-3 mg / g. The acid value of edible oils should not exceed 5 mg / g. Higher acid values indicate a higher degree of oil spoilage, therefore, acid value testing is necessary. Currently, the most common methods for detecting acid value in edible oils are titration and semi-quantitative test strips. Traditional titration methods are time-consuming and labor-intensive, requiring professional technicians, while semi-quantitative test strips are more susceptible to human error, easily caused by excessive or insufficient sample volume due to varying immersion times. Patent CN 108519376 A discloses a rapid determination device for acid value in edible oil used in frying processes and its method of use. While this device can detect acid value, the mixing of oil and reagents is not uniform enough during use, leading to inaccurate test results. Furthermore, calculations are required when using this device, and the acid value cannot be directly obtained. Therefore, further improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

The embodiments of this utility model will now be described based on its overall structure.
[0025] Example 1
[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, the device for detecting the acid value of frying oil in this embodiment is a syringe structure, including a cylinder 1, a sampling needle 2 and a push rod 3; one end of the cylinder 1 is provided with a connector 4, and the sampling needle 2 is inserted into the connector 4; one end of the push rod 3 is located inside the cylinder 1, and the other end is located outside the cylinder 1, and the push rod 3 can reciprocate relative to the inner wall of the cylinder 1.
[0027] Specifically, the outer wall of the cylinder 1 is provided with an indicator line 5 for the oil sample solvent and color developer, an oil sample indicator line 6, and an acid value scale line 7. These indicators are arranged sequentially from the end closest to the injection needle 2 to the end furthest from it. The principle for determining the positions of the indicator lines and scale lines is as follows: Since it is known that sodium hydroxide has a certain direct proportional relationship with the acid value, the acid value can be calculated based on the amount of sodium hydroxide used. Therefore, a predetermined amount of oil sample solvent and color developer is first determined, and the positions of the indicator lines for the oil sample solvent and color developer are marked on the cylinder 1. Based on the amount of oil sample solvent and color developer, the amount of oil sample can be determined, and the position of the oil sample indicator line is marked on the cylinder 1. After the amount of oil sample in the cylinder 1 is fixed, the relationship between the oil sample, sodium hydroxide, and acid value is used to calculate the corresponding acid value for each amount of sodium hydroxide solution, and thus, the acid value scale lines are marked.
[0028] The device for detecting the acid value of frying oil is also equipped with a container A17 containing a solvent and a colorimetric reagent for the oil sample, and a container B18 containing a sodium hydroxide solution. Containers A and B are set up independently. Operators only need to draw the corresponding solvent and oil sample from the container according to the indicator line, and visually read the acid value of the tested oil sample through the acid value scale line, which is simple and quick.
[0029] Specifically, the push rod 3 is provided with a piston 8 at one end inside the cylinder 1, and the piston 8 is interference-fitted with the inner surface of the cylinder 1; a connecting rod 13 is provided through the piston 8.
[0030] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the device also includes a magnetic stirring system, which includes a stirring rod 9 and a rotation drive component 10. A bearing 12 is sleeved on one end of the connecting rod 13 near the injection needle 2, and the stirring rod 9 is fixed on the bearing 12. The other end of the connecting rod 13 is connected to the push rod 3, and the rotation drive component 10 is located inside the push rod 3. A magnetic component 11 is provided on the stirring rod 9, and a magnetic component 11 is provided on the rotation shaft of the rotation drive component 10. The magnetic components 11 on the stirring rod 9 and the magnetic components 11 on the rotation drive component 10 are oppositely attracted and arranged opposite each other. When the magnetic component on the rotation drive component 10 rotates, the magnetic component on the stirring rod 9 will rotate accordingly.
[0031] Specifically, the magnetic component 11 of the rotating drive consists of two independent magnets, which are arranged in a straight line at intervals, and the magnets at close proximity are opposite in magnetic properties. The magnetic component 11 on the stirring rod 9 is also composed of two independent magnets, each parallel to its corresponding magnet on the rotating drive. The rotating drive 10 also includes a motor 15, a battery 14, and a switch 16. The motor 15 is connected to the battery 14 via the switch 16, which is located at the end of the push rod 3 furthest from the piston 8. When the switch 16 is turned on, the motor 15 is energized and rotates, generating a rotating magnetic field. This rotating magnetic field causes the magnet on the stirring rod 9 to rotate in a circular motion, thereby forming a vortex in the liquid inside the cylinder 1. This stirs the liquid, making the reaction uniform and improving the accuracy of the detection results.
[0032] Next, the working principle of this embodiment will be described in detail so that those skilled in the art can better understand this utility model:
[0033] The operation method of this utility model is as follows: First, install the battery 14 into the magnetic stirring system, press the switch 16 on the push rod 3 to make the stirring rod 9 rotate, then draw the solution in container A17 (container A contains a dissolving agent and a color developer for dissolving oil), draw until the oil sample dissolving agent and color developer indicator line 5 is reached, then stop drawing. Then draw the high-temperature oil sample until the oil sample indicator line 6 is reached, then stop drawing. Finally, draw the sodium hydroxide solution reagent in container B18, while observing whether the color of the indicator in the solution in the cylinder changes. When the standard color change occurs, stop drawing and read the acid value scale. The corresponding acid value of the high-temperature frying oil can be obtained, thus indicating the spoilage status of the oil.
[0034] In summary, the method of using this invention to detect oleic acid in edible oils is not only inexpensive and simple to operate, but also yields highly accurate results.
