Acid value quantifies free fatty acids in oils and fats, indicating hydrolysis or oxidation levels. It is critical for assessing raw material quality in the oleochemical industry. The parameter is calculated via titration with KOH, expressed as mg KOH/g. No specific molecular formula applies as it represents a bulk property of mixtures.
Store in cool, dry places away from oxidizing agents to prevent rancidity. Personnel must wear chemical-resistant gloves and eye protection when handling titration reagents like potassium hydroxide. High acid values indicate potential corrosivity in downstream equipment.
