Some physical properties of olive oil:
1. Specific weight: Olive oil is less dense than water and the specific weight of olive oil (density) is 0.910-0.916.
2 - degree of freezing: the temperature at which the oil turns from liquid to solid state and this is estimated at 2 degrees Celsius.
3. Solubility point: This is the degree at which the oil changes from the solid state to the liquid state and is estimated at 5-7 ° C.
4 - temperature of oil breakage: the degree at which the oil begins to disintegrate and form toxic compounds (acrolins and derivatives), usually between 210-220 ° C, while most fatty substances break down at 180 ° C.
5 - Refractive index: It is known that light rays when penetrating a transparent object, they deviate from the original path and the angle of deviation vary according to materials. The deviation of the light rays is measured by the spectra of the spectra. The refractive ratio in olive oil is usually 20 ° C between 1.4680 - 1.4707.
