Summary The application of the differential thermal‐analysis method for studying the melting behavior of oils and fats has proved very useful. The shapes of the curves depend largely on the pretreatment of the fats. From these curves, indications regarding the tempering of the fats can be obtained. DTA curves show the frequent occurrence of mixed crystals in fats. The curves are satisfactorily reproducible, provided that a carefully identical pretreatment is given.
