ESTIMATION OF
SAPONIFICATION VALUE
OF FATS,OIL
The objective of this experiment
AIM : is:
Required 2)
3)
Potassium hydroxide [0.5N]
Fat solvent
4) Hydrochloric acid[0.5N]
: 5) Phenolphthalein indicator
PROCEDURE :
1. Weigh 1g of fat in a tared beaker and dissolve in about 3ml of the fat solvent [ ethanol
/ether mixture].
2. Quantitatively transfer the contents of the beaker three times with a further 7ml of the
solvent.
3. Add 25ml of 0.5N alcoholic KOH and mix well, attach this to a reflux condenser.
4. Set up another reflux condenser as the blank with all other reagents present except the fat.
7. Now add phenolphthalein indicator to both the flasks and titrate with 0.5N HCl .
9. The difference between the blank and test reading gives the number of millilitres of 0.5N KOH
PROCEDURE :
= 0.252 gm KOH
Calculations:
∴ Saponification value =
= 252 mg/g
Conclusion :
Fatty acids with low molecular weight and
small chain found in oil will have more
Saponification value compared to the
higher molecular weight fatty acids.
IODINE VALUE OF
FATS,OIL
The objective of this experiment is:
2. Pipette out 10ml of fat sample dissolved in chloroform to an iodination flask labeled as
“TEST".
3. Add 20ml of Iodine Monochloride reagent in to the flask. Mix the contents in the flask
thoroughly.
4. Then the flask is allowed to stand for a half an hour incubation in dark.
5. Set up a BLANK in another iodination flask by adding 10ml Chloroform to the flask.
6. Add to the BLANK, 20ml of Iodine Monochloride reagent and mix the contents in the flask
thoroughly.
8. Mean while, Take out the TEST from incubation after 30 minutes and add 10 ml of
potassium iodide solution into the flask.
PROCEDURE :
10. Titrate the “TEST” against standardized sodium thiosulphate solution until a pale
straw
color is observed.
11. Add about 1ml starch indicator into the contents in the flask, a purple colour is
observed.
12. Continue the titration until the color of the solution in the flask turns colourless.
13. The disappearance of the blue colour is recorded as the end point of the titration.
14. Similarly, the procedure is repeated for the flask labeled ‘Blank’.
