What is the acid value of rancid coconut oil?

The acid value of rancid coconut oil can vary, but it typically indicates a higher level of free fatty acids due to the breakdown of triglycerides. Generally, fresh coconut oil has an acid value of less than 0.5 mg KOH/g, while rancid coconut oil can have an acid value significantly above this threshold, often exceeding 1 mg KOH/g. This increase in acid value is a key indicator of spoilage and deterioration in quality.
