FIG. 80. SERIFS OF CURVES SHOWING THE DIFFERENT EQUILIBRIUM POSITIONS OF THE \ .KH 

 ACID-GLYCEROL- FAT- WATER SYSTEM, AS ATTAINED UNDER THE ACTION OF LIPASE WITH 

 DIFFERENT PROPORTIONS OF WATER. 

 Note that the greater the concentration of water, the nearer is the equilibrium point to that of compli-h- li\iln.|\-i- 



(upper three pairs of curves). 



The presence of excej of glycerol (lowest pair of curves) leads to increase of synthesis, by removal of water a- w .!! 

 as by mass action. 



Ordinates percentage of free acid. 

 Abscissae time in hours.
