It aids in the detection of the presence of glycerides of fatty acids containing less than 16 to 18 carbon atoms. It can also indicate adulteration of the oil with unsaponifiable matter, such as mineral oil.
Glycerin and soap are the bye-products of saponification. The saponification value of glycerine are values of the percentage of lye it takes to convert one unit of fat, oil or fatty acid into glycerin.
Tripalmitin is a 16 carbon saturated fatty acid. Saponification is a reaction involving a strong base (ex: NaOH) and a fatty acid. The reaction yields a glycerol and 3 fatty acid salts. Therefore the reaction products are: glycerol: CH2(OH)--CH(OH)--CH2(OH) + 3 fatty acid salts: CH3--(CH2)14--COO(-) Na(+) + 3H2O Above is actually a summary of what is in reality a 2-step reaction: the fatty acid reacts with H2O first to yield a glycerol and 3 fatty acids; the fatty acids subsequently reacts with the alkaline (base) (NaOH) to yield 3 fatty acid salts and H2O
fatty acid salt, but I think you are looking for the word soap, or surfactant
When a fatty acid is reacted with NaOH, a process called saponification occurs. This reaction results in the formation of soap, which is a salt of the fatty acid alongside glycerol. This reaction is commonly used in soap-making processes.
To prepare propane from the sodium salt of fatty acids, the process of saponification is typically used. Saponification involves reacting the sodium salt of fatty acids (soap) with a strong acid to split off the fatty acid, which can then be further processed to yield propane. The propane is obtained by decarboxylation of the fatty acid through a series of chemical reactions.
what happen when fatti acid react with the NaOH
Glycerin and soap are the bye-products of saponification. The saponification value of glycerine are values of the percentage of lye it takes to convert one unit of fat, oil or fatty acid into glycerin.
The saponification test is used to determine the amount of free fatty acids present in oil. During saponification, free fatty acids react with a strong base to form soap. By measuring the amount of base required for saponification, the free fatty acid content of the oil can be calculated, which is important for assessing oil quality for various applications.

To prevent formation of soap (by substitute the water with alcohol). But indeed KOH forms an ester with fatty acids. Explain a bit the role of alcohol please. Sometimes KOH is used to conjugate and Fatty acid. When lead to saponification and when to conjugation?
Saponification is not applied to pure stearic acid; stearic acid esters are used.
No one fatty acid is volatile.
The saponification number is measure of the number of saponifiable sites (i.e. -esterified or unesterified- acyl groups, by reaction with OH-) per (AND HERE COMES THE CLUE)1 gram of tested sample.Just imagine you have 2 samples: L(ong) and S(hort) with the SAME amount of saponifiable sites per molecule (or mole), so they both react with the same amount of reactant (KOH or NaOH).If it were 'per mole' then the saponification numbers would be equal, won't they?BUT saponification number is per 1 gram, and as the Long chained triacylglycerides in sample L do have a higher molecular mass, there are less molecules (or moles, or sapon. sites) of them in 100 grams. Thus sample L has a lower saponification number than sample S.In this way the saponification number is a measure of the average molacular mass (also of average chain length) of triacylglicerides (i.e. normal fats) though under certain restrictions.
