Saponification value of oil

2026-02-07T22:42:25+05:30February 7th, 2026|

Aim: Determination of saponification value of given an oil sample Principle: Saponification value defines as the number of mg of KOH required to saponify or hydrolysis 1 g of oil/fat. In this estimation KOH reacts with the fat/oil to gives glycerol and the potassium salt of the corresponding fatty acid. KOH is added in excess [...]
