Unsaturation in oil and Fat (Iodine vale)
• The unsaturated oils and fat (PUFA)can be identified through the
iodine number.
• The iodine number equals the number of mg of iodine required to
saturate the fatty acids present in 100 mg of the oil or fat.
• Oils rich in saturated fatty acids have low iodine numbers.

Procedure for determining Iodine value
• A fixed volume of oil or fat dissolved in chloroform, then Huebl’e
iodine is added to it.
• As long as double bonds are available, the colour of iodine does not
appear in the solution as the iodine is absorbed by the double bonds.
• When all the double bonds are saturated, the colour of iodine
appears in the solution

• The iodine value can be calculated from the volume of the oil taken,
specific gravity of the oil and the volume of the Huebl’s iodine required to
impart colour in the oil solution.
• Huebl’s iodine: it is prepared by dissolving separately 26 g iodine in 30 g
mercuric chloride in about 250 mL of ethanol each, mix the two, and
make it to 1 L with ethanol).
• Control: five mL of chloroform is taken in a dry porcelain dish and 2-3
drops of Huebl’s iodine are added. This serves as a control for colour
comparison.
• Oil testing: 5 mL of chloroform is taken in dry porcelain dish, 0.5 mL of oil
(e.g. olive oil) is added and dissolved by gentle swirling, Huebl’s iodine is
added slowly from the burette until the colour of iodine (matching with
the control) appears in the solution. The burette reading should be noted.

Iodine number calculation
• The specific gravity of olive oil is 0.915, so 0.5 mL of the oil weighs 450
mg.
• Suppose that x mL of Huebl’s iodine is used to saturate 0.5 mL of the olive
oil.
• 1 mL of the Huebl’s iodine contains 26 mg of iodine,
• x mL of the Huebl’s iodine contains 26x mg of iodine
Since, 450 mg of oil takes 26x mg of iodine
Therefore, 1 mg of oil takes 26x/450 mg of iodine
Therefore, 100 mg of oil takes (26x/45).100

Saponification
• Saponification value: It is the amount (mg) of alkali (potassium
hydroxide) required to totally neutralized the fatty acid part of the oil
and fat resulting from the complete hydrolysis of 1 g of the sample. A
soap is formed during saponification. For example,

• Lower molecular weight fatty acids and esters requires more alkali
for saponification, so the saponification value is inversely
proportional to the mean of the molecular weights of the FA and
esters.
• The saponification value is not, in general, so useful for identification
purposes.
• It is useful for detecting the presence of oil and fats which contain a
high proportion of lower fatty acids.

Procedure for determining Saponification
value
• Take 0.2 to 0.5 g of oil or fat in a 50-100 mL Erlenmeyer flask.
• Add 10 mL of 0.5 N ethanolic potassium hydroxide solution and mix
with oil sample (already taken in Erlenmeyer flask).
• Heat at 80-85 °C in water bath for 30 min.
• Cool it at temperature between 30-40 C, then titrate with 0.5N HCl
standard solution (Add 2-3 drops of indicators phenolphthalein or
methylene blue)
• Carry out blank test also without oil.

Preparation of 0.5 N ethanolic KOH standard solution: take 35 g of KOH, dissolve in 20 mL of water, then make
up to 1000 mL with 95% (v/v) ethanol or absolute alcohol.

Melting behaviour of oil and fat
• The melting point data, solid fat index, and other solidification
procedures are all used to predict the consistency of the finished oil
and fat products.
• For edible fat and oils products, the liquid/solids level at various
temperature in relation to body temperature can give good
indications of the mouth feel, gumminess, workability, and overall
general behaviour to cool, ambient, and elevated temperature.

Melting point Analysis
• Melting point is usually defined as the point at which a material
changes from a solid to a liquid.
• It must be noted, natural fats do not have a true melting point.
• Pure compound have sharp and well-defined melting points, fat and
oils are complex mixture of compounds, so normally it have a range
of melting points.
• Fat and oils melting point procedure have standardized by the AOCS
(American Oil Chemists Society) and other associations.

• The melting methods vary considerably in the endpoint
determination, conditioning of the sample, amount of automation,
time requirements, attention required, degree of melt, and so on.
The following methods can be used to determine the melting point of
the oil and fat:
• Capillary melting point
• Softening point
• Slipping point
• Wiley melting point
• Mettler dropping point
4/30/2020
MICET
12

Methods of melting point measurement
• Capillary melting point (AOCS method Cc1-25): in this method,
capillary tubes (1 milli meter inside diameter) are filled to height of
10 milli meters with melted fat. The end of the capillary sealed and
tempered for 16 h at 4 to 10 °C. After tempering the tubes are heated
in water bath at the rate of 0.5 °C starting 8-10 °C below the
expected melting point until fat became completely clear.
4/30/2020
MICET
13

• Wiley melting point (AOCS method Cc 2-38): A solidified fat disc is
solidified and chilled in a metal form for 2 hours or more. The disc is
then suspended in an alcohol-water bath and slowly heated while
being stirred with a rotating thermometer. The Wiley melting point
occurs when the fat disc becomes completely spherical.
The subjective interpretation of the end pint is again a major
disadvantage, and slight variation in sample tempering or heating rate
interferes with reproducibility of the results.
Another disadvantages is the constant attention required to determine
the endpoint.
4/30/2020

14

• Mettler dropping point (AOCS method Cc18-80): it utilized the Mettler
instrument which equipped with control unit and the dropping furnace. A
sample cup designed for the furnace is filled with 17 drops of the melted fat
samples and tempered in a freezer for 15 minutes. The cold solidified sample is
warmed in the temperature-programmed furnace until it becomes fluid enough
to flow. When the sample flows, it trips a photoelectric circuit, which records the
temperature on a digital read out.
• This method has become standard in many oil and fat laboratory.
• This method offer fully automatic end point determination.
• Good correlation of results with Wiley melting point results.
• Time required to test melting point is less than an hour.
• This method can be used to analyse products with low melting points

Solid fat content
• Solid fat index (SFI): solid fat index is an empirical measure of the
solid fat content. It is calculated from the specific volume at various
temperatures utilizing a dilatometric scale measured in units of
milliliter times 1000.
• SFI results are arbitrary because assumption are made and liberties
are taken for precise measurement.
• AOCS Method Cd 10-57, dilatometry is the basis for solid fat
measurement in oil and fat industry. The dilatometric solid fat index
has been used extensively for product development, process control,
and quality specification for oils and fat.
4/30/2020
MICET
16

SFI assumptions
• Use of volumetric instead of gravimetric
measurements.
• Use of solution other than mercury as the
confining liquid.
• Assumption that the slopes of the liquid and
solid lines are parallel.
• Assumption that the slope of the liquid line is
the same for all fats.
• Assumption that the melting dilation is 0.1
Some of the assumption are made out of necessity
and other made for convenience.
Even with these liberties and assumptions the
results have relative significance.
4/30/2020 Dr. Mohammed Danish/ Oil and Fat Technology/UniKL MICET 17

Dilatometer
• A dilatometer is a scientific
instrument that measures
volume changes caused by a
physical or chemical process.
• A familiar application of a
dilatometer is the mercury-in-
glass thermometer, in which the
change in volume of the liquid
column is read from a graduated
scale.
Dr. Mohammed Danish/ Oil and Fat Technology/UniKL MICET 4/30/2020 18

SFC measurement through NMR
• AOCS method Cd 16-81, Allow to determines the quantity of solid glycerides in
a fat by measuring the pulsed NMR signal of the liquid fat.
• The hydrogen atom in a solid crystal does not give a NMR signal, but hydrogen
atom in a liquid environment does.
• Thus, NMR measures the actual amount of liquid in sample.
• The Dilatometer and NMR analysis may be correlated, but the method do not
provide identical results.
• The most significant difference between the two techniques is experienced with
the fats containing high solid contains at 10.0 and 21.1 °C (50 and 70 °F).

Difference
between SFC
and SFI
Solid fat content (SFC) using
either pulsed or wideline NMR
spectrometer for direct
measurement of solids in fat.
Whereas, solid fat index (SFI)
is an empirical measurement
calculated from the specific
volumes at various
temperature using dilatometer

Low temperature properties
• Measurement of the heat of fusion of fat rather than its thermal expansion
appeared to offer promise as a mean of determining fat solid contents.
• Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was developed for measurement of the
solid contents of vegetable and animal fats. It is less time-consuming method for
determining fat solid content.
• In brief, the DSC measured the heat of fusion of a frozen or completely solid fat
sample. The area under the melting curve is measured, then selected partial
areas are measured as a percentage of the whole. The temperature selected for
partial area measurement are normally those used for the SFI by dilatometry.

Advantages of DSC analysis of fat
• The thermal history determined can provide clues to the tempering and storage
condition for the fat sample;
• The fat melt curve can help distinguish between two fat products with identical
SFI value;
• A fat solid range from -10 °C for soft oil to 70 °C for hard hardfats would be
possible.
• Results should be available in approximately 1 hour
• Correlation with SFI results appear good.
• Sample required for analysis 5 to 10 milligrams.
4/30/2020
MICET
22

Disadvantages of DSC analysis
• Accurate weighing of small quantity of sample poses the problem of
representative sampling.
• Variation of fat solids is not constant and is greater at low temperatures.
• Precision has been found to be poorer than with the standard SFI dilatometric
techniques.
• DSC has never been accepted as a quality control tool to replace SFI. Because too
much information from temperature programmed and non-precise results are
major obstacle in it.
• DSC can be useful research tool but not used in routine analysis for quality
control tool.

Oxidation of oil and fats
Oxidation and hydrolysis of oil and fat caused rancidity, which give sharp pungent
smell mixed with stale and musty odour.
To measure the rancidity in oil and fat following test can be conducted:
• Peroxide value
• Anisidine vales
• Stability Analysis
4/30/2020
MICET
24

Peroxide value
• Oxidation of lipid is a major cause of deterioration, and hydroperoxides formed
by the reaction between oxygen and the unsaturated fatty acids are the primary
products of this reaction.
• The hydroperoxide have no flavor or odor but break down rapidly to form
aldehydes, which strong, disagreeable flavor and odor.
• The peroxide concentration, usually expressed as peroxide value, is a measure of
oxidation or rancidity in its early stages.
• Peroxide value (PV) measures the concentration of substance responsible for
oxidation in terms of milliequivalents of peroxide per 1000 gm of oil or fat
samples.
4/30/2020
MICET
25

Determination method of peroxide values
• Oil samples equivalent to 0.2 g were mixed with 9.8 mL chloroform/ methanol (7:3
ratio). Mix it well in a screw-capped vials on a vortex mixer for 5 sec.
• Then, 100 µL of 10 mM xylenol orange was mixed and vortexed for 5 sec.
• Then 50 µL of 36 mM iron (II) solution was added and the sample was mixed on a
vortex mixer for 5 sec.
• After 5 min of incubation at room temperature, the absorbance of the sample can be
determined at 560 nm using UV-Vis spectrophotometer.
• To plot standard calibration curve for Fe(III), stock solution of ferric chloride (10 µg/mL)
can be used and the dilution were made by chloroform/methanol (7:3 ratio).the
standard Fe(III) concentrations can be prepared in the range of 5-30 µg/L.
• The peroxide values were calculated as the mequivalent of Fe(III) per Kg of oil used.

• The calibration curve of Fe(III) chloride is
represented in figure.
• The mole of Fe(II) react with one mole of
ROOH form oxidized product Fe(III) as
represented in the chemical equation.

Iodine method for peroxide value
• 5 g of oil or fat dissolve in 10 mL chloroform in the Erlenmeyer flask
and mixed with 15 mL glacial acetic acid and 1 mL saturated KI.
• The mixture were left in the dark at room temperature for 5 minutes,
• Then 75 mL of distilled water was add and the mixture was shaken
vigorously.
• Finally 1 mL of 1% starch solution was added and the resulting
solution was titrated with 0.002 N sodiumthiosulphate until the
colour become clear. The same procedure should be applied to a
blank solution (without fat or oil).

Anisidine Value
• Anisidine value measures the amount of alpha- and beta- unsaturated aldehydes
present in the oil.
• This method is based on the fact that in the presence of acetic acid, p-anisidine
reacts with the aldehydic compounds in an oil, producing yellowish reaction
products. The colour intensity depends not only on the amount of aldehydic
compounds present but also on their structure.

Anisidine value determination methods
• 1 g of oil or fat sample should dissolve in 25 mL of isooctane, label as A1
solution.
• Then 5 mL of A1 solution mixed with 1 mL p-anisidine (25% in glacial acetic
acid) solution, label as A2.
• Prepare reference solution by adding 1.0 mL of 2.5 g/L solution of p-anisidine in
glacial acetic acid in 5.0 mL of isooctane, the solution shaken to mix it well.
• The absorbance of both test solution and reference solution were measured at
350 nm.
