## Abstract This work was undertaken to develop an improved gas chromatography (GC) analysis of poly (3βhydroxyalkanoate) (PHA) quantification method based on acidic methanolysis. This is achieved by investigating the kinetics of acidic hydrolysis of PHAs with sulfuric acid in the chloroform/aqueou
