Shortenings containing ca. 1% lactic acid added as lactylated glycerides are analyzed for total or water insoluble combined lactic acid (WICLA) by a liquid‐liquid partition Chromatographie pro‐cedure. The sample is saponified, acidified with H 2 SO 4 , dispersed on silicic acid, slurried with chloroform and transferred to the top of a chro‐matographic column composed of a 0.5 N sulfuric acid stationary phase supported on silicic acid. After elution of the fatty acids by chloroform, 15% m‐butanol removes the excess H 2 SO 4 fol‐lowed by a well resolved lactic acid fraction. Titration of the latter fraction with standard methanolic sodium hydroxide has shown the lactic acid recovery to be 94%. The WICLA determina‐tion requires 7 hr and has a standard deviation of ŷ0.020%.
