The analysis of fats containing cyclopropenoid fatty acids

Abstract

Cyclopropenoid compounds are labile in the presence of acidic reagents, silver nitrate and mercuric acetate; they are partially destroyed in the course of gas-liquid chromatographic analysis; and they give a mixture of straight and branched-chain acids on hydrogenation.

The difficulties associated with the isolation of methyl sterculate and of the analysis of fats for sterculic and malvalic acids are discussed.
