Abstract:Mixtures of high-melting glycerides can be separated into their constituents by means of a chromatographic process resembling repeated fractional crystallization. Use is made of a column in which a temperature gradient is established, and of solvent mixtuies with gradually increasing solvent power. The principle of the method is briefly discussed, and examples are given of the analysis and purification of synthetic glycerides, and the isolation of "pure" triglycerides from natural products.Mixtures of high-mel… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
