BIOCHEMICAL TESTS FOR PURITY OF FATS & OILS -Iodine number
1. Iodine number
Definition : Iodine number is defined as the grams ( number ) of iodine absorbed by 100 g of fat or oil.
Significance :
1. Iodine number : directly proportional to degree /content of unsaturated fatty acids .
2. Lower the iodine number ,less is the degree of unsaturation
3. Iodine number is useful to analyze the degree of adulteration

BIOCHEMICAL TESTS FOR PURITY OF FATS & OILS -Saponification number
2.Saponification number of Fat/oils
Definition : Saponification number is defined as the mg ( number ) of KOH required to hydrolyze ( saponify ) by 1 gram of fat or oil.
Significance :
1. Saponification number is a measure of the average molecular size of constituent fatty acids of given fat/oil.
2. higher Saponification number for fats containing short chain fatty acids egbutter –(SN 230-240),Coconut oil( SN250-260),Human fat (SN195-200)
![Page 12: Biochemical tests for purity of fats & oils](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042422/58a11a8a1a28abb91b8b4647/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Saponification number helps to predict size of /chainlength of constituent fatty acids Examples of Saponification
number: Butter (with short chain fatty acid )& Oleomargarine (with long chain fatty acid ) Saponification number
inversely related with chain length of constituent fatty acids of fat/oil

BIOCHEMICAL TESTS FOR PURITY OF FATS & OILS: Reichert –Meissl number
3. Reichert –Meissl number of Fat/oils
1. Definition : Reichert –Meissl number (RM ) of Fat/oils is defined as the number of ml of 0.1N KOH required to completely neutralize the soluble volatile fatty acids distilled from 5 gram of fat or oil.
Significance :
1. Higher content of Volatile fatty acids of butter (Butyric acid ,Caproic acid &Caprylic acid) responsible for its higher Reichert –Meissl number
2. Reichert –Meissl number for butter (RM -25-30 ) & negligible for fat /edible oils without volatile fatty acids (RM< 1)
3. Reichert –Meissl number of Fat/oils is useful in testing purity /adulteration of butter .

BIOCHEMICAL TESTS FOR PURITY OF FATS & OILS – Acid number
4.Acid number of Fat/oils
1. Definition : Acid number is defined as the mg ( number ) of KOH required to completely neutralize free fatty acids present in 1 gram of fat or oil.
Significance :
1. Oils decompose on long standing due to bacterial /fungal contamination or chemical decomposition . Acid number is higher for oils stored for longer duration (manufacturing/packing date important )
2. Acid number : Refined oils should be free from any free fatty acids & have negligible acid number (AN - nil )
