title: Spectrophotometric method for quantitation of peroxides in sorbitan monooleate and monostearate.
abstract: A rapid and sensitive spectrophotometric method has been developed to quantitate the peroxides present in sorbitan monooleate and monostearate. The method relies on the peroxide conversion of iodide to iodine. The method has also been found to work for polysorbate 60.
