The acid value of fat is a measure of the amount of free fatty acids present in the fat. It indicates the degree of hydrolysis or rancidity of the fat. The acid value is typically expressed as the amount of potassium hydroxide (KOH) in milligrams required to neutralize the free fatty acids in 1 gram of fat.

What is the Saponification value of Glycerin?
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.
Is folic acid a water-soluble vitamin that is stored in the body's fat cells?
No, folic acid is a water-soluble vitamin that is not stored in the body's fat cells.
What is the pKa value of benzoic acid?
The pKa value of benzoic acid is approximately 4.2.
Why amyl alcohol and sulphuric acid is used in gerber's method?
Amyl alcohol and sulfuric acid are used in Gerber's method for testing milk fat content because they help separate the fat from other components in the milk sample. Amyl alcohol dissolves the fat, while sulfuric acid helps in the formation of a layer that contains fat, making it easier to measure the fat content accurately.
If you isolate a fatty acid with one double bond you know the fatty acid is a?
A monounsaturated fat
What acid value indicates a sample is rancid?
It indicates the presence of free acid which is an indication of age and quality of the fat/oil.
Difference between acid value and free fatty acid?
Free fatty acids are created by separating fatty acids from the fat molecule. To find the ration you must add a solvent agent. The lower the ratio is the better the storage and shelf life of the respective oil or fat will be.

How does neutralization change the pH value of an acid?
When an acid is neutralized, its pH value is changed to be around 7 and it is no longer an acid.
