The acid value of coconut oil should be approximately 1.0 - 2.0%. Coconut oil can be found in most grocery stores.
the value can range from 250 -264
about 5*10^-5 mol/g (my experiment in laboratory)
Lauric acid can come from coconut oil
is popcorn, poped in coconut oil, acid or alkaline
Coconut is mainly saturated fatty acid. It solidifies at 25C.
" acid value (or "neutralization number" or "acid number" or "acidity") is the mass of potassium hydroxide (KOH) in milligrams that is required to neutralize one gram of chemical substance."-wikipediaOils are made of triglycerides. During processing some amount of oil can be break down to fatty acids and glycerol s.This amount of fatty acids should be less.Every oil has a specific acid value range. It shows the amount of free acids available in oil.So it is used as a Quality parameter of oil.as a example acid value of coconut oil should be below 3mg. otherwise its consider as a poor in quality
up to 1 mg KOH / gm of the oil
Acid attacks metal and acidic oils should be kept well away from parts requiring lubrication.
Butyric acid (butter), lauric acid (coconut oil, palm oil), myristic acid (cow's milk and dairy products), palmitic acid (palm oil and meats), and stearic acid (cocoa butter and meats).
A fatty acid that is unsaturated is coconut oil. This oil has a whole list of benefits that range from lotion for the skin to deep conditioner for the hair.

The standard acid value of peanut/grondnut oil is about 3.5 to 4.0%
The purpose of checking the acid value of the lubricant oil is that it determines the efficiency.
