Key Palm Oil Testing Applications
We supply robust testing reagents engineered for accuracy across all primary palm oil assays.
01 // DEGRADATION METRICS
Free Fatty Acid (FFA) Analysis
FFA is one of the most important quality indicators in palm oil, reflecting hydrolytic degradation and freshness. Low FFA values generally indicate better product quality and processing conditions.
COMMON REAGENTS USED
NaOH / KOH
Phenolphthalein
Analytical IPA
Ethanol
02 // UNSATURATION METRICS
Iodine Value (IV)
Iodine Value measures the degree of unsaturation in palm oil and influences melting characteristics, stability, and end-use suitability.
COMMON REAGENTS USED
KI / Wijs Solution
Cyclohexane / Acetic
Sodium Thiosulfate
Starch Indicator
03 // STABILITY METRICS
Moisture & Impurities (M&I)
Moisture and insoluble impurities affect storage stability, refining efficiency, and downstream processing performance.
COMMON REAGENTS USED
Petroleum Ether
n-Hexane
04 // OXIDATION PATHWAYS
Peroxide Value (PV)
Peroxide Value measures primary oxidation products and serves as an indicator of oil freshness and oxidative stability.
COMMON REAGENTS USED
Potassium Iodide
Wijs Solution
Cyclohexane / Acetic
Sodium Thiosulfate
05 // FATTY ACID CHAIN LENGTH
Saponification Value (SV)
Saponification Value indicates the average fatty acid chain length and is commonly used in oleochemical and specialty fat applications.
COMMON REAGENTS USED
Potassium Hydroxide
Hydrochloric Acid
Phenolphthalein
Alkali Blue 6B
06 // FRACTIONATION CHECK
Unsaponifiable Matter
This test evaluates components that do not form soap during saponification, including sterols, tocopherols, hydrocarbons, and pigments.
COMMON REAGENTS USED
Diethyl Ether
Acetone / Ethanol
Ethanolic KOH
Phenolphthalein
07 // NATURAL PIGMENTATION
Carotene Content
Carotene analysis helps evaluate crude palm oil freshness and natural pigment content.
COMMON REAGENTS USED
Iso-octane
08 // SECONDARY OXIDATION
Anisidine Value (AV)
Anisidine Value measures secondary oxidation products, reflecting historical heat exposure or degradation.
COMMON REAGENTS USED
Iso-octane
Glacial Acetic Acid
p-Anisidine
09 // GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY
FAME Preparation
Fatty Acid Methyl Esters (FAME) analysis under standard methods for high-accuracy GC determination of component profiles.
COMMON REAGENTS USED
Ethanol AR
n-Hexane AR
Methanolic HCl
