Summary A modified and improved method for the determination of monoglyceride by the periodic acid method has been presented as well as a method for free glycerol in fatty products. The advantages of the method for monoglyceride are 1. eliminates danger of secondary reactions due to elevated temperatures, 2. eliminates the need of shaking to effect good contact and complete reaction between sample and reagent, and 3. makes removal of free glycerol from the sample easier.
