Popis: A reagent of 11% KOH-glycerol was satisfactory for isomerizing soybean oil at 180°C. in open bottles in a forced-draft air-oven. A rapid means of analyzing soybean oil for linolenic and linoleic acid was developed. The optical densities of methanol solutions were measured at 268 mµ and 233 mµ in special cells with quartz windows and short light paths, and the percentages were calculated by means of a nomograph.
