Summary

The construction and use of nomographic charts for the calculation of the glyceride compositions of oils and fats have been described. Equations adopted by the American Oil Chemists' Society relating the glyceride composition with the iodine and thiocyanogen values of an oil were used for constructing the nomographs. The glyceride compositions of different oils calculated from the nomographs were found to agree reasonably well with those obtained by calculation from the equations.
