It has been passed many years since much interests were paid on lipid hydroperoxidation in some research fields such as foods, medicines, cosmetics and their related industries. During these decades, there are many reports on development and modification of lipid hydroperoxides determination methods, which is able to perform precise and reproducible analysis with a very small sample size. Those methods are contributing for not only evaluation of toxicity or effect of lipid hydroperoxides on living bodies but also quality control of oil and fat products.
However, some methods used with halogen-containing solvents, for example the official and tentative methods for peroxide value measurement have to make further modification based on looking for alternative solvent since environmental pollution by halogen compounds is proceeding rapidly.
In the present review, some popular or novel methods which are classified into titrimetric, colorimetric, enzymatic and instrumental methods are introduced and characterized.
