Abstract

A microtiter plate (MTP) method was developed to determine the quality of fats that are used in large‐scale processing using lipase catalysis. Two assay formats were followed: In the first approach, the fats were interesterified with p‐nitrophenol laurate using a lipase from Thermomyces lanuginosa; in the second approach, pH indicators were added to the fat samples containing lipase. A blind study using 29 fats showed that the MTP method using p‐nitrophenol as pH indicator allowed a rapid and reliable assignment of bad fats and an acceptable differentiation between fats of moderate and good quality.
