High free fatty acid (FFA) content results in low palm oil yield in refinery and 5 wt% are the limit for crude palm oil acceptance. Common method of the FFA quantification in the mills is titration. The intent of this study was to determine the FFA content in extracted palm oil by using Fourier tran...
