The use of tetrabutylammonium tribromide as reagent for bromination of carbon‐carbon double bonds of fatty acids and vegetable oils, followed by a voltametric titration of tribromide and bromide ions, has been studied. This method is easy and fast, and results show good accuracy and high sensitivity.
