Determination of Melting Point of Vegetable Oils and Fats by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) Technique
SUMMARY Determination of melting point of vegetable oils and fats by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) technique. Melting point of fats is used to characterize oils and fats and is related to their physical properties, such as hardness and thermal behaviour. The present work shows the utilization of DSC technique on the determination of melting point of fats. In a comparison with softening point (AOCS method Cc 3-25), DSC values were higher than those obtained by AOCS method. It has occ...
