assay | the alcohol content was determined according to the OT-5 method. When saponification, accurately weigh about 1g of acetylated oil and take 77.13 of equivalent factor (e) in calculation. The amount of total alcohol in terms of geraniol was thus determined. The content of Ester was determined by OT-18 method. Weigh about 5g of sample accurately. The equivalence factor (8) in the calculation is taken as 98.15. The content of esters in terms of linalyl acetate was thus determined. |
