A METHOD AND TEST KIT FOR DETERMINING THE AMOUNT OF POLAR SUBSTANCE IN FAT

摘要

The kit uses one phase test soln. including indicator and solvent in which fat is immiscible. The pH of the test soln. is chosen so that, when it is mixed with fat having a characteristic amount of polar substances, the indicator gives a polychromatic visible or fluorescent color change in the test soln.. The indicator and solvent are present in amounts which provide the color change relative to the amount of polar substances in the fat. A set of colors is standardized to provide for each color of the set to correspond with a color which is developed when a given amount of fat is mixed with a given amount of test soln..
