STUDIES ON THE CHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF GROUNDNUT OIL
Journal Title: International Journal of Pharmaceutical Development & Technology - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
ABSTRACT Vegetable oil had made an important contribution to the diet in many countries. Its constitute one of the essential components of balanced diet as good source of energy. The chemical and physical properties of oils are amongst the most important properties that determine the quality and help to describe the present condition of oils. The groundnut oil from different manufactures was bought at a local market in Rajkot city, Gujarat and it was analyzed for chemical properties, such as: iodine, acid, saponification value and minerals. The chemical analysis of the iodine values shows that sample 1 was slightly higher compared to others. The saponification value ranged from 86 to 139 mgKOH/gm. The study indicated that groundnut oil, those from the Gujarat area may have a higher shelf life, nutritional value and industrial applications. Keywords: Analysis, Chemical properties, Groundnut oil.
