Glyceride structure of vegetable oils by countercurrent distribution. VI. Corn oil

Corn oil has been fractionated in a 200-tube countereurrent distribution apparatus. Although this technique gives no information about the positional isomers of the glycerides, the fatty acid composition of the fractions and the amounts of the more unsaturated triglycerides are in agreement with an essentially random pattern.
