Guest guest Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Hi ! Someone inquired about the iodine value of coconut several months ago. I understand the iodine value is not the content of iodine in coconut but the number of grams of iodine that will react with 100 g of coconut oil (CNO) under standard conditions. It is a measure of the degree of saturation (carbon atoms linked to hydrogen atoms) of an oil. For coconut oil, it is usually within the range of 7.5 to 10.5. It is an index of the drying and polymerizing properties of oils. Therefore coconut oil is highly saturated (IV= 10, low value ) while soybean oil, canola/rapeseed, olive oil, corn oil , safflower oil, peanut oil with high IVs (80 -145). considered highly unsaturated. It is now known that monounsaturated or polyunsaturated plant oils are not stable oils thus the tendency to be produce trans fatty acids upon subjected to heat (unhealthy, causes oxidation of body tissues/cells).
