Oils and fats are the chief raw materials in making the
potassium or sodium salts of higher
chain fatty acids which are commonly known as ‘soaps’. Saponification or the
alkaline hydrolysis of oils or fats is the conversion of the fatty acids to their potassium
or sodium salts by treating them with alkalis like potassium hydroxide or sodium
hydroxide.
In this experiment, the saponification value of the corn oil analyzed is ano na di
ibutang man mg KOH/g sample which is higher than the standard value. Corn oil has
a relatively lower saponification value of ano na di ibutang man compared with
other common oils like coconut oil (248-265mgKOH/oil). Since the saponification
value is inversely proportional to the molecular weight due to the chains of
triacylglycerol, it is expected that the sample should have a lower saponification value.
It was also found that there is ano na di ibutang man % glycerin present for every
gram of sample.
