Abstract
Randomly rearranged soybean oil (Iodine Value 128) was hydrogenated with samples being taken at decrements of 10 I.V. units. The composition of the fatty acids occupying the various positions of the triglyceride molecules of these fats was determined. The results demonstrate that the position an unsaturated fatty acid occupies on a triglyceride molecule does not influence its rate of hydrogenation.
