A modification of the periodic acid method for the determination of monoglycerides and free glycerol in fats and oils

  • Published:
Journal of the American Oil Chemists Society

Summary

A modified and improved method for the determination of monoglyceride by the periodic acid method has been presented as well as a method for free glycerol in fatty products. The advantages of the method for monoglyceride are 1. eliminates danger of secondary reactions due to elevated temperatures, 2. eliminates the need of shaking to effect good contact and complete reaction between sample and reagent, and 3. makes removal of free glycerol from the sample easier.
