Abstract

(1) THE analytical examination of edible fats and oils is increasing in importance and in difficulty day by day. At least sixteen natural oils must be taken into consideration, and, when mixtures of these are presented for examination, the task of determining their nature and origin is one that is almost beyond the range of ordinary analytical methods. In addition to the natural oils and fats it is necessary now to take into account the artificial products obtained by reducing them by hydrogen in presence of nickel; although these are only rarely mentioned, their preparation has already become an extremely important industry, which has grown to maturity at a very rapid rate and almost unobserved by the general public.
