ACID NUMBERS

in this experiment added 50 ml of 95% alcohol. it serves to

dissolve oil. Then, the solution is heated until the oil becomes a
homogeneous solution with alcohol. This process serves to
accelerate the process of dissolving oil and to break the double
bonds in oil. after the solution has cooled, the solution is added
to the indicator pp 3 drops as a determinant of the equivalent
point when titrated later.

after that, the solution is titrated with 0.1 N KOH until the
previously saturated solution turns purplish. The reduction in
ml KOH in the burette is the amount of KOH needed to
neutralize free fatty acids in oil from this experiment. The acid
number in the new oil I is 0.56. whereas in oil II the acid
number is 0.28 and in this used cooking oil the acid number is
0.84.

in this experiment the same oil was used but the acid number
was different this was due to various factors of
1. accuracy of the reading of the burette
2. in the heating of solution
our experimental results on used cooking oil showed an
acid number at 0.8. When compared with the standard
quality figures for Indonesian cooking oil, the maximum
number is 0.6 mg KOH / G far adrift. this indicates that
used cooking oil has a poor quality of

reaction:

Conclusion
1, the acid number is used to determine the quality of
cooking oil
2. From the experiments we have obtained the acid
numbers in cooking oils I and II are 0.2 and 0.5.

3. The new cooking oil in samples I and II have

good quality because it does not exceed the cooking oil
quality standard that is, 0.6 mg KOH / gr

SOAPING NUMBERS
In the experiment added alcoholic KOH. alcohol in
KOH serves to dissolve the fatty acids resulting from
hydrolysis to facilitate reaction with KOH to form soap.
then heated to a homogeneous solution. the function of
heating is to accelerate the saponification process and
break the double bond of oil. then, added indicator 1%
pp drops as a marker of the end of the titration process
after which the solution is titrated with 0.5 N HCL so
the purple solution turns clear. the more HCLs used
indicate the lower saponification number in this
experiment the control variable or blank is used. SNI for
saponification number is 253 - 263 mg KOH / gr.

Conclusion The
more HCL used, the lower the saponification number
indicates poor quality
