Acid Value
Also known as saponification number or Koettsdorfer index / no.
SAPONIFICATION VALUE
is a process by which triglycerides are reacted with sodium or potassium hydroxide (lye) to produce glycerol and a fatty acid salt called "soap."
Saponification
fatty acid salt called
Soap
When sodium hydroxide is used, what soap is produced

Soft soap
Also known as Ester number
Ester value
The number of mg of KOH require to saponify the esters in 1 g of volatile oil, fats, wax,resin, balsam or similar organic substance.
Ester Value
Substances that do not contain free fatty acids , the ester value is equal to the
Saponification number
is the difference between the saponification and acid number.
