 New Method for Automated Thermometric Titrimetry – Straightforward Quality Control of Fats and Oils
02 Feb 2010 Minimum operator involvement and high analytical productivity – these are key benefits of automated thermometric titration. This new method is ideal for monitoring the quality of fats and oils, namely to determine crucial parameters such as free fatty acid content and iodine value. Benefits of thermometric titrimetry Thermometric titration means that there is no electrical contact with titrating solutions, so samples can be titrated in a totally non-aqueous environment. The endpoint is determined automatically, not prone to operator bias and can be detected in highly colored or turbid solutions, or even in media containing suspended solids. Moreover, the thermometric sensing probe requires no maintenance, special preparation, regeneration or calibration and can be stored dry between titrations. Determination of free fatty acid content...
