CHEMICAL STUDIES OF SOME INDIAN LAURACEAE FATS. PART I

The chemical composition of the mixed fatty acids including unsaponifiable matter of the five Lauraceae fats have been studied by the modified method consisting of crystallisation of trilaurin of the fats from alcohol and of separation and identification of the individual fatty acids in the alcohol-soluble portion of the fats in the usual manner. The glyceride composition of the Lauraceae fats has been arrived at by employing the two Kartha's methods for their estimation
