Digital Iodine Value Meter

Listing ID #4323054

‘vaiseshika’ digital iodine value, type: 7706 meter has been designed for the edible oil industry to determine the iodine value number of commonly available oils like coconut oil, groundnut oil, sunflower oil, soya bean oil, mustard oil and other similar edible oils. This instrument has been designed and manufactured in technical collaboration with the central scientific instruments organisation, chandigarh under the technology modernization and upgradation mission for oil and pulses industry launched by the ministry of agriculture, government of india, new delhi.

iodine number is the number of centigrams of iodine absorbed by one gram of oil or fat. 

iodine number is the most valuable parameter for differentiating or identifying oils and readily serves to indicate the group to which the oil belongs. The unsaturated acids of oleic, linolenic, or less saturated series, as well as their glyceryl esters, absorb halogens to form mainly addition products. One molecular weight of triglyceride olein absorb 6 atomic weights of iodine would absorb 18 atomic of iodine.
