Summary The acetone‐permanganate oxidation method for determination of GS 3 has been shown to be unreliable because some hydrolysis of the azelaoglycerides occurs, the products of which are determined as GS 3 . The presence of excess acetic acid throughout the oxidation corrects this defect. GS 2 A can be precipitated quantitatively as the magnesium salt. Although it is contaminated with GSA 2 , its proportion can be calculated and from this the proportion of GS 2 U in the sample can be found. The remainder of the precipitate is GSA 2 ; its weight, when added to that found in the filtrates, gives the total GSA 2 . From this, the percentage of GSU 2 in the sample can be derived. The GS 3 is determined separately, and the content of GU 3 can be estimated by difference.
