2.3.3. Lipid peroxidation assay (Ferric thiocyanate method, FTC)
Inhibition of the peroxidation-mediated degradation of a lipid
matrix (linoleic acid as the model compound and 2,2’-azobis
(2-methylpropionamidine) dihydrochloride (AAPH), as the free
radical initiator) was measured using the ferric thiocyanate
method (FTC), following the procedure reported by Olszewska,
Presler, and Michel (2012), olive oils with IM < 2, for the 2012/
2013 crop season were used.
