## Abstract Standard methods for the determination of iodine values of oils involve direct addition of halogen elements to the double bond. Since the reaction proceeds slowly there is a risk of substitution. A direct coulometrical titration method has been investigated.

β¦ Synopsis
A method is reported where an on-line evaluation of gas-chromatographic data allows direct calculation of iodine values of fats and oils. Iodine values are printed out in the final analysis report of fatty acid methyl ester gas chromatographic analysis.
For this purpose a simple equation was established which included double-bond increments of fatty acids, mean molecular weights and molecular weight contributions of each single component of the mixture. In a further step, a computer program was developed (Spectra-Physics 4100 Integrator) that allowed the final online print-out of the results.
To evaluate the reliability of the method, comparative analyses by titration were carried out. No significant differences in the results could be observed.

## Abstract A method is proposed to substitute the classical saponification procedure for the determination of the sterols and other minor components in edible oils and fats. Saponification is replaced by transesterification, which liberates sterols and alcohols from esters under mild conditions, b
## Abstract The previous onβline LCβGC method for the direct analysis of the minor components in oils and fats (without cleavage of esters) was modified: The free alcohols/sterols were silylated instead of acylated, and the LC fraction transferred to GC is widened to range from the beginning of the
