Free Fatty Acids. — The acid number (a) can be readily converted 

 into percentage of free fatty acids (A) exi^ressed as oleic, as sulfuric an- 

 hydride (SO3), as an assumed acid with a molecular weight determined 

 by formula (4), or as the acid of any other molecular weight (ms).

When the free acid or the predominant acid in a mixture is known it 

 is often desirable to report aciditj'' in terms of that acid. In such cases it 

 is preferable to calculate the percentage directly from the titration by
