Thesis Abstract

The abstract for the research project on "Physical and chemical analysis of seven samples of palm oil" is as follows This study aimed to investigate the physical and chemical properties of seven samples of palm oil obtained from different sources. The physical analysis included the determination of color, refractive index, specific gravity, and viscosity. The chemical analysis involved assessing parameters such as free fatty acid content, iodine value, saponification value, and unsaponifiable matter. The results revealed variations in the physical properties of the palm oil samples, with differences in color intensity, refractive index, specific gravity, and viscosity. In terms of chemical properties, the samples exhibited varying levels of free fatty acids, iodine values, saponification values, and unsaponifiable matter. These differences could be attributed to factors such as the origin of the palm oil, processing methods, and storage conditions. Overall, this study provides valuable insights into the quality and composition of palm oil, highlighting the importance of conducting comprehensive physical and chemical analyses to ensure product quality and safety.
