Abstract

The palm oil is originated from South Africa and widely use in various applications including producing glycoside from palm oil. However, the unsaturated content should remain same throughout the reduction process. Therefore, the unsaturated content can be determined using some method. There are three methods were employed in this study, one using wet experiment which is iodine titration to find iodine value (also known as Wijs method) and other two method is using analytical instrument which is Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GCMS). For iodine titration, the iodine value for both palm oil and reduced palm oil was the same. For NMR, the unsaturated content can be determined based on oleic acid ( also known as C18:1) peaks by looking at the peak integration. For GCMS, the unsaturated content can be determined based on oleic acid peaks in the GC chromatogram. In conclusion, the unsaturated content is not affected by the reduction process.
