The total acidic products from the performic acid oxidation of the ozonide of methyl oleate formed in methanol may be esterified directly in a few hours with 2,2-dimethoxypropane. The ester concentrations are adequate for the determination of the positional isomers of monoethylenic fatty acids directly from the reaction mixture, using a hydrogen flame ionization gas–liquid chromatography detector. Dimethyl sulfoxide was not required to prevent the breakdown of 2,2-dimethoxypropane under the conditions employed.

The effect of air blowing at two temperatures, 80 and 130 °C, on the major component fatty acids of cod liver oil has been determined. As expected, the proportions of the highly unsaturated fatty acids drop rapidly, especially at the higher temperature investigated. The saturated acids are virtually unchanged under the conditions employed, while the proportion of monounsaturated acids shows only a slight drop.
