GlossarySaponification Value

amount of alkali needed to saponify a fat or oil

The Saponification Value (SV) is a measure of the amount of alkali (usually potassium hydroxide) required to saponify a given quantity of fat or oil. It indicates the average molecular weight (or chain length) of all the fatty acids present. This value is crucial in industries like soap making and cosmetics, as it helps determine the quality and properties of the final product.
