The Determination of the Fatty Acid Composition of Some Chocolate Fats by Gas Chromatography
Abstract
8 The Determination of the Fatty Acid Composition of Some Chocolate Fats by Gas Chromatography by Mxs. WrrnINcroNt (Durham County Analyst’s Dept., County Hall, Durham) A method is given for the plepantion, by transesterification, of a solution of fatty acid methyl esters for direct use in gas chromatogaphy. A method of calibration is described which allows the calculation of com- position without the use of an internal standard in the prepared samples. Some results of analysis are given for fats from chocolate sugar con- fectionery. Milk fat, if present, must be detemined separately. The method described below was applied to the fat extracted from the chocolate fillings of sugar confectionery chocolate eclairs.
