Rapid quantification of free fatty acids in virgin coconut oil by FTIR spectroscopy

A rapid method for quantitative analysis of free fatty acids in virgin coconut oil (VCO) was determined using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Thirty training samples of VCO were prepared by spiking lauric acid to VCO samples covering a range of 0.1% to 5% of free fatty acids. FTIR...
