A method is described for the separation of saturated methyl esters from mercuric acetate adducts of unsaturated esters using an ion exchange resin. The esters thus separated were analyzed by gas chromatography on a short wide‐bore capillary column containing a bonded polyethyleneglycol liquid phase. Detailed analyses of sheep and beef depot fats can be produced more rapidly and with greater accuracy using this methodology than with that currently available.
