Iodine value.

ByJCT

Background Iodine values serve as a common metric to assess the unsaturation level in substances like fats, oils, and waxes. The unsaturation in fatty acids primarily manifests as double bonds, which exhibit a high reactivity towards halogens, particularly iodine. Consequently, a higher iodine value indicates a greater number of unsaturations in the fat. The iodine…

How elements are created? The answer is in the starts. Let’s have a look to the creation of what we are made of. Elements are formed through a process called nuclear fusion. Nuclear fusion is the process by which atomic nuclei come together to form a heavier nucleus.  Remember that we are talking about nuclear…
