Abstract
Abstract A semimicro method for determination of iodine values of lipids is described. An accurately weighed smear of sample (10-20 mg) on a strip of ashless filter paper, 14 × 40 mm, is brominated with bromine vapors for about 5 min. Excess bromine adsorbed on the filter paper is allowed to sublime. Bromine absorbed by the sample is directly related to the degree of unsaturation. Paper with brominated sample is subjected to oxygen flask combustion in the presence of 2 mL 1M sodium hydroxide solution and 10 mL water as absorbing liquid. Bromide formed, which is equivalent to unsaturation, is determined by bromide ion selective electrode. Bromide ions can be also determined by gravimetry or by indirect argentometric titration. The results were statistically analyzed. The iodine values of some fatty acids and oils, determined by this technique, are in accord with those of some officially approved methods.
