Dietary fat and health: An experiment on the determination of iodine number of fats and oils by coulometric titration

Abstract

An experiment on the determination of iodine number of fats and oils by coulometric titration.

Coulometric Titration of Ethylenediaminetetraacetate (EDTA) with Spectrophotometric Endpoint Detection: An Experiment for the Instrumental Analysis Laboratory

“…Coulometric titrations have been the focus of a number of experiments described previously in this Journal − . Only one of these utilized endpoint detection by absorbance measurements, but with a colored indicator .…”

The chemistry of olive oil

“…The iodine number refers to the number of grams of iodine required to saturate 100 g of oil or fat and is a quantitative measure of unsaturation. Classical procedures for either technique may be found in many organic chemistry textbooks (7), and an interesting coulometric determination of the iodine number recently has been reported (8).…”
