The component acids and glycerides of whale oil
Abstract The component acids of a specimen of Antarctic whale oil, previously 1 separated by means of their lithium and lead salts prior to analysis by ester‐fractionation, have now been resolved by the alternative process of crystallization from solvents at low temperatures. This method, which is p...
