Mar. 18, 1918 Fatty Acids in Butter Fat 731 



In a later article attention will be called to additional analyses of 



butter fat and to the results reported by other workers employing different 



methods. 



SUMMARY 



The direct esterification of butter fat v/ith subsequent fractionation 

 of the resulting esters has proved an accurate and practical method for 

 the determination of five of the fatty acids in butter.
