title: Computer processing of fatty acid analysis data.
abstract: A Fortran computer program for the processing of fatty acid data from the anlysis of fats and oils by gas-liquid chromatography is described. The analytical method and calculations are described primarily for the analysis of butterfat and margaine fat, but with minor changes could be adapted to suit other fats and oils. The program computes the concentration of each fatty acid as weight % and mole %, the percentage glycerol, the theoretical iodine value, and other relevant combinations of fatty acids.
