MOISTURE AND VOLATILE CONTENT OF THE CRUDE PALM KERNEL OIL(PKO)<br />

Moisture loss = (weight <strong>of</strong> sample prior to heat<strong>in</strong>g − weight <strong>of</strong> sample after heat<strong>in</strong>g)<br />

Weight <strong>of</strong> oil sample prior to heat<strong>in</strong>g = 10g.<br />

Weight <strong>of</strong> oil sample after heat<strong>in</strong>g = 9.96g.<br />

Thus,<br />

Moisture loss = (10.00−9.96)g = 0.04g.<br />

Therefore,<br />

REFINED BLEACHED DEODORISED OIL (RBDO) CALCULATIONS.<br />

%FFA OF RBDO<br />

Where 2 = lauric oil acid factor<br />

w = weight <strong>of</strong> the RBDO sample<br />

a = volume <strong>of</strong> sodium hydroxide(NaOH) used for titration and<br />

w = 4.76g<br />

a = 0.30g<br />

Therefore,<br />

%FFA<br />

PERCENTAGE MOISTURE AND VOLATILE MATTER CONTENT OF THE RBDO<br />

Recall that<br />

%MV = (Moisture loss) * 100<br />

( Orig<strong>in</strong>al weight <strong>of</strong> sample)<br />

And: Moisture loss= (weight <strong>of</strong> sample prior to heat<strong>in</strong>g − weight <strong>of</strong> sample after heat<strong>in</strong>g)<br />

Weight <strong>of</strong> sample prior to heat<strong>in</strong>g = 10.000g<br />

Weight <strong>of</strong> sample after heat<strong>in</strong>g = 9.998g<br />
