Zero Maintenance
Frying Oil Risk
During the frying process, the fat/oil is exposed to atmospheric oxygen and moisture at high temperatures for a long time. As a result, many chemical reactions take place during frying fat, producing a number of harmful compounds that can increase the risk of several health problems, such as lung or stomach cancer.
Measures Total Polar Compounds
Deep frying foods produces chemical reactions such as hydrolysis, oxidation, and polymerization, which changes the chemical composition of frying oils and release free fatty acids and free radicals that combine into polar compounds containing monoglycerides, diglycerides, and polymeric triglycerides. OleoTest detects these polar compounds, helping you to know when to replace your frying oil.
HACCP Approved
OleoTest is innovative because of its accuracy, simplicity of use and also because the results remain stable for several months, allowing the test itself to be kept as a registry in the scope of HACCP or food safety systems. The quality control of the tests is continuously verified by independent entities.

5-in-1 Water Test
Water Quality Test
High levels of nitrates in consumed water can be harmful, especially to pregnant mothers and small children. The US EPA has set the maximum contaminant level goal (MCLG) for total nitrate/nitrite at 10.0 mg/L and for nitrite alone at 1.0 mg/L measured as nitrogen. Nitrites in water are especially an issue with well water where nitrites from fertilizers can be found in irrigation water and make their way into well water. The Hygiena™ 5-in-1 Water Test semi-quantifies Nitrates (NO3), Nitrites (NO2), Total Hardness, Free Chlorine, and pH. Suitable for any type of water testing including CIP rinse water, water used in food & beverage processing (i.e. beer, juice, soft drinks, wine, soups, etc.), tap water, well water, fish farm water, farming, and more.
- 5 test in one strip
- 25 test strips or tubes

Nitrates (NO3) / Nitrites (NO2)
High levels of nitrates in consumed water can be harmful, especially to pregnant mothers and infants. The US EPA has set the Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG) for total nitrate/nitrite at 10.0 mg/L and for nitrite alone at 1.0 mg/L measured as nitrogen. Nitrites in water are especially an issue with well water where levels can exceed 50 mg/L. Farm irrigation water can waste nitrites from fertilizers into well water sources. The 5-in-1 water test confirms filtration processes and gives you piece-of-mind regarding your water source.
Free Chlorine
This is a versatile test for determining the amount of free chlorine in drinking water and thus verify dosage testing at the point of consumption. A free chlorine level less 2.0 mg/L 30 minutes after the addition of sodium hypochlorite and at least 0.2 mg/L 24 hours after sodium hypochlorite is added will be enough residual to maintain water quality through the distribution network. Combined with the pH test, water treatment effectiveness can be determined and provides you confidence that your program is working.
Water pH
The application of pH water testing in food safety, along with a host of other industries, is broad and includes fruit juice testing (sugar extraction and purification), beer production, and general CIP rinse processes.
