Discrimination of Low-Grade Oil from Edible Oil by a Microfluidic Device

Article Preview

Abstract:

Illegal cooked oil is a serious food safety issue in China, while an effective authentication method is still lacking. In this paper, a microfluidic device was applied for the discrimination of low-grade oil from edible oil, by creating water droplets of different sizes in different oils.
