Acid Value Determination in Oils: Principle and Procedure

Here's an explanation of the principle and procedure involved in determining the acid value of an oil sample:

Principle

The acid value of an oil sample is a measure of the amount of free fatty acids present in the oil. The principle of the acid value determination is based on the reaction between the free fatty acids in the oil and a strong base, such as potassium hydroxide (KOH). The reaction is as follows:

RCOOH (Free Fatty Acid) + KOH → RCOOK (Potassium Salt) + H₂O

Procedure

Here's the step-by-step procedure for determining the acid value of an oil sample:

1. Apparatus

• 250 mL Erlenmeyer flask
• Burette
• Pipette
• Volumetric flask
• Phenolphthalein indicator

2. Reagents

• Potassium hydroxide (KOH) solution
