Abstract
THE rapid gas-chromatographic analysis of fatty acid methyl esters was applied by Cropper and Heywood1 and by Dijkstra, Keppler and Schols2 to the saturated fatty acids up to and including behenic acid. James and Martin3 and James and Wheatley4 analysed unsaturated and saturated fatty acid methyl esters up to and including a C19-acid.
