Abstract
High resolution nuclear spin resonance spectra of four fatty acid methyl esters have been presented and discussed from the standpoint of applying this instrumentation to the analysis of the possible eight-component system resulting from the hydrogenation of linolenic acid. If one of the constituents other than 9- or 12-oleic acid can be neglected or found by another method, the analysis seems possible. Experimental conditions for the accurate reproduction of the relative intensities of the spectral bands must first be found.
