Estimation of Iodine number of fat
Iodine value:Iodine value is defined as the number of g of iodine absorbed by 100 g of fat/oil. It will give the degree of unsaturation of the fatty acid present in the fat. It is constant for oil or fat. It is a useful parameter for studying oxidative rancidity of oils since the higher the unsaturation the grater the possibility of rancidity.
