Summary Very few alignment charts are available which can be used for routine calculations in fat analysis and processing. Three alignment charts are presented in this communication for determining the fatty acid composition of a fatty acid mixture consisting variously of linolenic, linoleic, oleic, and saturated fatty acids or glycerides, incorporating for accuracy, data based on ultraviolet extinction coefficients. In two of the charts triangular diagrams have been used as a novel feature in nomography to give directly the fatty acid composition.
