Excerpt from The Laboratory Companion to Fats and Oils Industries For several years past I have been contemplating the idea of collect ing together in readily accessible tables all numerical values required in the examination of fats and oils. This book presents these in a handy form, which has stood the test of practical experience during the somewhat lengthy time this work has been in preparation. The book consists almost exclusively of tables the description of methods has not been given, nor has it been considered advisable to add any explanations as to the contents of the tables. Such informa tion is contained in my Chemical Analysis of Oils, Fats, and Waxes, and of the Commercial Products derived therefrom, second edition (macmillan and Co., to the pages of which the reader must be referred. In Part I. Only I have considered it necessary to introduce a few pages of subject matter explanatory of the system of fats and oils, as this has been considerably strengthened since the appearance of my Chemical Analysis. I may add that this Part I. Should not be looked upon as merely a tabulated epitome of that work. A number of tables have been specially calculated to give further information and assistance in the interpretation of analytical results. Part II. Will, I hope, be found the most useful portion of the work. Numerical values, so-called constants, and variables, have been care fully scrutinised, and only the most reliable ones have been given. In some cases I had to decide on the most probable values. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
