B. Acrolein Test for Glycerol
1. Get 4 test tubes and label them as A (oleic acid), B (coconut oil), C (melted beef
fat), and D (egg yolk).
2. Place 5 drops of each sample (coconut oil, egg yolk, oleic acid, and beef fat/tallow)
into the designated labelled test tubes.
3. Add 1-2 crystals of potassium hydrogen sulfate.
4. Gently heat each test tube, one at a time, over a flame, while vigorously shaking it
until the evolution of fumes.
5. Carefully smell the test tubes. A characteristic pungent odor of acrolein,
resembling burnt hamburgers, indicates the presence of glycerol.
(NOTE: Do not overheat the samples to avoid the adherence of a black residue in
the test tubes which is difficult to remove.)
C. Zak's Test for Cholesterol
1. Get 3 test tubes and label them as A (oleic acid), B (coconut oil), and C (egg yolk).
2. Place 1 ml or 100 mg of the lipid samples into separate labeled test tubes.
3. Add 1 ml of Zak's reagent.
4. Tilt the test tubes to 45° and add 2 drops of concentrated sulfuric acid.
5. Observe the test tubes. The appearance of a deep red color indicates the presence
of cholesterol.
D. Saponification Test
1. Place about 1 ml of oil into a test tube. Add 2% w/v sodium hydroxide dropwise
with continued shaking until it traces. Trace is the point at which the soap has
thickened and blended enough to have formed a stable emulsion. When the
mixture traces, it has formed soap.
2. Pipet out the soap obtained from Step 1 and mix with distilled water until the
entire solid has dissolved. This should make a little above 5 ml of soap solution.
Test the pH of soap using pH paper.
3. Salting out of soap. Add solid Nacl to the solution obtained in Step 2 above until
no more Nacl dissolves. Soaps can be forced out of the solution by dissolving NaCl
in the soap solution. This is a way of purifying soap from extra NaOH left from the
saponification process. Pipet out the soap again and mix with distilled water until
the entire solid has dissolved. Test the pH using pH paper.
4. Acid hydrolysis. Get about 1 ml of soap solution obtained in Step 2 and add 6 M
HCI drop by drop until no more changes occur. Record your observations. Pipet
out a small sample of the product and dissolve in distilled water. Test the pH using
рH раper.
* Rank (1", 2nd, 3rd) as to the estimated pH value of the soap solution (Step 2), the
product of the salting-out (Step 3), and the product of hydrolysis (Step 4): 1ª – the
highest pH value and 3rd – the lowest pH value
