Abstract
This short communication reports an assessment of the oxidation process of castor oil fatty methyl ester samples submitted to Rancimat (EN 14112) and PetroOXY (ASTM-D7545) oxidation methods. Fourier Transformed Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) was used to evaluate the FAME degradation products resulting from the accelerated oxidation, following the area of the carbonyl band (~ 1740 cm−1) of the samples at different oxidation times. Our results indicate that the level of oxidation of castor oil FAME, using the Rancimat method, follows a similar pattern of the oxidized samples using the PetroOXY method.
