Abstract
A computer method for predicting triglyceride composition of fats and oils from fatty acid composition is described. The results of the method are compared with results of analyses performed by liquid chromatography (LC) and desorption chemical ionization mass spectrometry. An LC column technology is also described which provides a simple separation of triglycerides according to the equivalent carbon number of the triglyceride.
