FATTY ACIDS AND THEIR ESTERS: III. IODINE VALUES BY THE BROMINE VAPOR METHOD
Keyword(s):
A modified bromine vapor method for iodine value determination that allows of the determination of substitution is described. For non-conjugated unsaturated oils free from oxidation or polymerization products, values are obtained that are in close agreement with those found by Wijs' method. The unsaturation of conjugated esters can be determined satisfactorily. Owing to substitution, the unsaturation of oxidized or polymerized esters cannot be determined by this method.
