Analysis of sucrose mono- And diesters prepared from triglycerides containing C12 @#@ C18 Fatty Acids

A quantitative gas liquid Chromatographic method of analysis for sucrose mono- and diesters, prepared from naturally occurring triglycerides, is described. For esters containing predominantly C₁₆C_1s alkyl groups, a common calibration curve was obtained. Calibration standards were prepared by column chromatography using silica gel adsorbent. Methods of analysis for the major impurities present in the sucrose mono- and diesters are also described.
