The RM Value Apparatus**, also known as the Reichert-Meissl (RM) Value Tester, is a precision laboratory instrument designed to determine the Reichert-Meissl value of fats and oils, especially dairy fats like butter. The RM value is an important parameter used to evaluate the quality, purity, and origin of fats by measuring the amount of volatile water-soluble fatty acids present. This apparatus complies with standard analytical protocols such as AOAC, IS, and IP methods, and is essential for quality control in food testing laboratories, dairy plants, oil refining units, and research institutions. It typically consists of a complete distillation unit with a boiling flask, condenser, graduated receiver tubes, and heating block or mantle to ensure consistent and accurate distillation conditions.
