Limitations of ambient temperature methods for the methanolysis of triacylglycerols in the analysis of fatty acid methyl esters with high accuracy and reliability

A comparison is presented of a method for the preparation of fatty acid methyl esters, involving hydroxide catalyzed transesterification at ambient temperature, with a second method employing methoxide catalyzed transesterification at reflux temperature. The first of these methods was specifically d...
