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.
How much should be the acid value experiment for coconut oil?
about 5*10^-5 mol/g (my experiment in laboratory)

What is the standard enthalpy of formation of coconut oil?

Why does coconut oil solidify?
Coconut is mainly saturated fatty acid. It solidifies at 25C.
Why is acid value important?
" 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
Can kittens have coconut oil as part of their diet?

What should be the maximum acid value of edible oil?
up to 1 mg KOH / gm of the oil

How does coconut oil effectively kill bacteria?
Coconut oil contains lauric acid, which has antimicrobial properties that can help kill bacteria by disrupting their cell membranes and inhibiting their growth.
