Rapid colorimetric micromethod for free fatty acids

Free fatty acids (FFA), the uranyl ion, and the basic dye Rhodamine B form colored complexes, which are extractable into toluene or benzene. Fatty acids of different chain lengths above C10 and different degrees of unsaturation gave constant molar yield. Complexes in toluene alone are unstable, espe...
