The reason for titration is to determine the quantity of FFA's in WVO. SVO should not contain any FFA's, so it does not require titration. However having said...
That confirms our point that the new oil you get from the grocery stores (peanut, soy, corn, sunflower) are all so similar, that a titration isn't necessary....
