Statement I: Peroxide value is a reliable measure of how rancid an old oil has become.
Statement II: Peroxides are the primary products of oxidation and break down as it proceeds.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer.
Answer: B
The chemistry in the second statement is exactly why the first fails: a badly oxidised oil can show a low peroxide value because the peroxides have already decomposed. Anisidine value or a sensory panel is needed alongside it.
