A simple method to determine the acid value of the edible oil with FTIR spectroscopy by using the Olimg="/entities/sbnd" src="/sd/grey_pxl.gif" class="glyphImg imgLazyJSB">H stretching band.
Details of the FTIR spectrum of the oil sample were measured with a dilute solution in carbon tetrachloride.
The sample was placed into an infrared quartz cuvette to collect the FTIR spectrum.
The sample thickness was controlled exactly with an infrared quartz cell.
