Abstract

FOR the determination of the volatile fatty acids in cheese, it is usual to subject the acidified cheese mush to a normal steam distillation at constant volume. In this laboratory, it is the custom to collect a volume of distillate equal to three times the volume of the liquid in the distillation flask, and to use this for further estimations of the individual acids.
