A procedure is described for the accurate analysis of the trans content of fats and oils in the range of 0.5–36% trans . This procedure is shown to be more accurate than other current infrared spectrophotomeny methods. This increased accuracy is obtained by using a 2‐component calibration standard mixture and measuring the samples as methyl esters. Good agreement between this method and the measurement of trans content by a gas chromatography procedure is demonstrated.
