Abstract
Wool fat on the fleece has a high peroxide value because of autoxidation, this value falls greatly during washing of the wool and grease-recovery as a result of biological or chemical reduction. It increases again if anhydrous lanolin refined from this grease is bleached by oxidation. Peroxide values are useful as a measure of autoxidation only if values of the surface and lower layers are compared.Keywords
