• High yields were obtained when using H2O2/Formic Acid for epoxidizing recycled vegetable fatty acids. • The iodine value of the fatty acid indicates the highest degree of epoxidation at the end of the process. • It is possible to correlate the progress of epoxidation from infrared studies. • Coefficient of determination (r2) up to 0.995 was obtained by comparing the two methodologies for monitoring the epoxidation.
