| Abstract: | AOCS official method Ca 5a-40 for determination of free fatty acids (FFA) was used to determine FFA in soybean oils. The method used about 2.0 g of the weight of oil sample; alcohol volume was 50 rnl and the alkali strength of 0.1 N NaOH as recommended in the official method. Standard solutions of the soybean oil were prepared by weighing 2.0 g of the soybean oil and adding 50 ml of ethanol. The solution was heated and was titrated with 0.1 N NaOH. The FFA concentrations were then determined by calculations |
