Summary The centrifugal acetone foots test developed for use on linseed oil was successfully adapted for estimating the acetone insoluble or HCl heat break content of soybean oil. Application of the method makes it possible to obtain results in a half hour with an accuracy comparable to that of the HCl heat break test; it requires only a few minutes of the analyst's time and involves no exacting technique. Data are given showing good reproducibility of the centrifugal foots values and their degree of correlation with acetone insoluble and HCl heat break contents. Centrifugal foots test results are being studied in relation to those obtained by other methods of predicting the refining quality of crude soybean oil, and an account of this work will be reported in a paper now in preparation.
