6.3.8 "Sapon.No"
Determination of the saponification number of
edible oils and fats.
Electrode:
6.0229.100 Solvotrode, at measuring input 1.
6.2320.000 Elektrolyte c(TEA-Br) = 0.4 mol/L
in ethylene glycol.
Titrant:
c(HCl) = 0.5 mol/L
Sample:
Weigh in app. 2 g of sample. Add 25 mL
c(KOH) = 0.5 mol/L in ethanol and allow to
boil lightly for at least 30 miutes. Rinse the
content into a beaker and titrate the excess
KOH with HCl.
Determine a blank sample the same way.
Remarks:
Change the result unit e.g. to mg KOH.
Reference:
Metrohm Application Bulletin Nr. 141
– Saponification number in mg KOH per g sample
– Sample size in g
– Molar mass of KOH * normality of titrant
(56.10*0.5)
– Consumption of "blank sample" in mL
