Answer:
Koettstorfer number is also known as saponification number.
Explanation:
Koettstorfer number or saponification number is "the number of milligrams of potassium hydroxide required to saponify 1 gram of fat under specified conditions".
It is a measure of the average chain length or molecular weight of the fatty acids.
Longer fatty acids have a lower saponification number because they have fewer number of carboxylic functional groups per unit mass of the fat.
