Abstract: | A user-interactive computer-assisted Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) method has been developed for estimation of free fatty
acids (FFA) in vegetable oil samples by deconvolution of the infrared (IR) absorbances corresponding to the triglyceride ester
and FFA carbonyl bonds. Peak areas were used to determine FFA as a percentage of the total carbonyl areas in weighed standards
of refined, bleached, deodorized soybean oil containing from 0 to 5% added oleic acid. These data for percent FFA by FTIR
were compared to corresponding FFA data obtained by two titration methods-the AOCS Official Method Ca 5a-40 and the Official
Method with a slight modification. Correlation coefficients were 0.999 for the Ca 5a-40, 0.999 for the modified and 0.989
for the FTIR methods. FFA in samples of crude soybean oils extracted from damaged beans (0.5 to 2.1% FFA) were measured by
FTIR and compared to data obtained by titration of the same samples (correlation coefficient, 0.869).
