title: Stability of unsaturated methyl esters of fatty acids on surfaces.
abstract: The stability of unsaturated methyl esters is greater when they are adsorbed on silica gel than when a glass surface is used. Storage of small samples adsorbed on silica gel may be a convenient addition to conventional methods of protecting labile fats against autoxidation.
