Abstract

An spectroscopy method to fast determination of the degree of unsaturation of oils and fats is described by measurement of intensity of the olefinic band at 3007 cm^-1 Using SNGLE program, the peak heigt and peak area and also 1st derivate and 2nd derivate at 3007 cm^-1 are calculated and relationships between these parameters and iodine values are studied. The best relationships were obtained with the measurements of net absorbance (r=0,9992: error index=1,75%) and area (r=0,9992; error index= 1,77%).
