Some chemical properties of olive oil:
1 - Siben or saponification: This is the amount of potash estimated in milligrams required to form one gram of oily substance and this value varies according to the types of oils and the percentage of saponization in olive oil 184-196.
The iodine index is the amount of iodine needed to interact with 100 grams of oil and the reaction proves the iodine atoms in the conjugated bonds in the unsaturated fatty acids and gives a clear idea of the degree of oil saturation and its dehydration. In saturated fats in the fatty acid, the iodine figure in olive oil typically ranges between 57-94 while this figure in all vegetable oils is higher than in olive oil.
3 - Number of acidity: is the number of milligrams of potassium hydroxide necessary for the return of free fatty acids found in one gram of oil.
PH: is the percentage of free fatty acids estimated by oleic acid (as the fatty acid, which represents the largest percentage in the composition of olive oil) .. To estimate the pH of fatty acids equivalent to a systemic solution of alkaline and uses the potash alkali or soda alkali and the latter more Use.
