Summary Paper chromatographic procedures are described, whereby a homologous series of n‐aliphatic gamma lactones from butyrolactone through dodecalactone can be resolved as hydroxamic acid derivatives. Similar resolutions can be obtained with a series of n‐aliphatic delta lactones from nonalactone through dodecalactone. Procedures also are described, whereby lactones in the presence of ester or glyceride material can be identified using a modified hydroxylamine reagent. Analyses of commercial synthetic peach extracts demonstrate the practical use of these procedures.
