Optical Study of Six Oils of Indian Origin

ABSTRACT

Refractive index, density, specific refraction, iodine value, saponification value, molecular weight, relative density and absorption of oils have been calculated at room temperature for six samples of oils. The textures, UV absorption characteristics of these oils have also been studied. Some empirical relations between physical and chemical constants were fitted to the experimental data and the correlation constants for the best fit have been presented. For refractive index measurement Abbe’s refractometer, for textures polarizing microscope (Censico 7286) were used.
