The AOCS chromatographic procedure for neutral oil determination, Ca 9f‐57, has been modified through use of a newly designed flask. This modified procedure increases the efficiency and standardization of neutral oil determination by: permitting automatic transfer of weighed crude oil samples onto alumina columns; converting column operation to a semiautomatic level thus reducing cost of operation; and allowing the chromatographic procedure to be performed in laboratories which are not air‐conditioned. As a result of collaborative studies the AOCS Fats and Oils Subcommittee for neutral oil investigation has recommended that this procedure be adopted officially by the Uniform Methods Committee.
