Physiochemical properties of palm olein

Abstract

In the last decade, palm oil has ascended to the most advanced and widely used vegetable oil in the world. Triaclglycerol or triglycerides make up the majority of palm oil's composition. Before being isolated, palm oil undergoes lipase-catalytic hydrolysis, which results in a high fatty acid and glyceride content, as well as a comparatively high fatty acid content.This study is about the physiochemistry of palm olein. This study to characterize palm oil using AOCS method for the determination of physicochemical parameters such as free fatty acids (FFA) is 0.3% to 0.5% is 0.6-1, acid value (AV) is 0.6-1, the result is saponification value (SV) is 210 mg KOH, for this research, 57.10 gI2 is the value of iodine (IV), the specific gravity is 0.9185 and the moisture content is 0.34%.
