Brief Description
Description : | Iodine number is the number of centigrams of iodine absorbed by one gram of oil or fat. It is a measure of degree of unsaturation of edible oils. Different edible oils have different iodine number due to varying degree of unsaturation. Thus it can be used to identify / check the quality of different edible oils. The developed instrument is portable, low cost, direct display of iodine number, easy to operate and gives reproducible results |
