The extent of oxidative and storage stability of margarine samples were determined by measuring peroxide values (PV) and Accelerated Shelf-Life Testing (ASLT). Two margarine samples, A and B, which were packaged with parchment and Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), respectively, were studied to predict their storage stabilities. Samples were stored at 4 and 14 degrees C in the dark as being typical of long term storage (LTS) conditions to study the deteriorative parameters of PV and free fatty acid (FFA). Induction times estimated from ASLT results were 9.18, 5.32 and 2.65 h for Margarine (A), and 8.92, 5.12 and 2.6 h for Margarine (B) at 100, 110 and 120 degrees C, respectively. During long term storage at 4 and 14 degrees C the shelf-life, based on peroxide formation, values were determined as 145 and 108 for Margarine (A), and 134 and 96 days for Margarine (B) at these temperature, respectively. Only a slight increase in the FFA content was observed on either sample. The main goal of the study was to test the methodology utilized rather than to compare packaging materials.
