A procedure is described for the separation, identification and quantitative estimation of mono‐, di‐ and tri‐fatty acid esters of sorbitol and of its anhydrides. Stearic, palmitic and oleic acid esters of sorbitol, 1,4‐sorbitan and isosorbide were synthesized in the laboratory. Lipid classes were separated by liquid partition column chromatography and TLC. The individual mono‐and di‐fatty acid esters and the polyols were analyzed by GLC as trimethylsilyl ethers. Recoveries of known compounds in mixtures were in a range of 92% to 100%.
