The amount (H) of such a compound in an oil, fat or wax is therefore — H=, d Molecular Weight of Hydroxy Compounds. The molecular weight of the hydroxy compounds can be calculated from the weight (w) of fat taken and the increase (i) on acetylating, pro- vided the number (d) of hydroxyls in the molecule is known: — w : w+i = m :m+ d m = dw The formation of anhydrides during the acetylating process will affect the accuracy of these calculations.

The computation of the amount of hydroxy compounds by the gravi- metric process is greatly facilitated by use of the following table: — Acetyl Gravimetric Process on Original Product. Glycerides.
