Abstract: | A stereospecific analysis has been made of the triacylglycerols of cottonseed oil, as a result of which it has been established that the saturated and 16:1 acids mainly occupy the sn-1 position, while 18:1 and 18:2 acids esterify the sn-2 and sn-3 positions of the triacylglycerides to equal extents. |
