Historical Examples
Determine the acetin value of the residue at in terms of glycerol.
Soap-Making Manual E. G. Thomssen
The glycerine may also be determined by the acetin or bichromate methods after driving off the alcohol and ether if so desired.
Soap-Making Manual E. G. Thomssen
An approximation to the quantity can be obtained from the spread between the acetin and bichromate results on such distillates.
Soap-Making Manual E. G. Thomssen
Determine the apparent percentage of glycerol in the sample by the acetin process as described.
