Glycerides of Insoluble Fatty Acids. — The percentage of triglycerides 

 (Ig) can be calculated from the percentage (I) and molecular weight (m) 

 of the insoluble fatty acids by the formula — 



Ig = 3 m +38.0 16 ^ j 

 3 m 



Glycerol in the Glycerides of Insoluble Acids. — ■ The percentage of glycerol 

 (G) in the glycerides of insoluble acids can be calculated from the per- 

 centage (I) and molecular weight (m) of the insoluble acids: — 



3m 



See derivation of formula (14) and table "Percentage of Fatty Acids 

 and Glycerol in Triglycerides." 



Mean Molecular Weight and Saponification Number of the Glycerides of 

 Insoluble Acids. — The mean molecular weight (mi) and saponification 

 number (si) of the glycerides of the insoluble acids can be calculated 

 from the molecular weight (m) of the insoluble acids : — 



mi = 3 m+ 38.016 

 „ _ 3X56108 



See table "Saponification Number of Triglycerides."
