Why old butter has larger acid value than the new butter?
Butter when fresh is in the state of being a triacylglycerol, 3 fatty acid chains attached to a glycerol backbone. When a butter ages it undergoes a process of oxidation called lipolysis. This is where the fatty acid chains split from the glycerol backbone the result of which is the formation noticeably off flavours being present in the butter. Hence the point of using old and new butter is that the old butter should have a higher acid value than the fresh butter
Why use old and new butter in acid value test?
An acid value test is preformed on butter to gauge the levels of free fatty acids. Butter when fresh is in the state of being a triacylglycerol, 3 fatty acid chains attached to a glycerol backbone.

This is where the fatty acid chains split from the glycerol backbone the result of which is the formation noticeably off flavours being present in the butter.

How long can you refrigerate clarified butter?
At room temperature butter decomposes. One of the products of decomposition is butyric acid (a saturated fatty acid) , which gives spoiled butter a rancid taste. I keep butter in the freezer. Clarified butter (or Indian Ghee) will last many many months in the frig and probably indefinite in the freezer.
