Vegetable oils technical quality

The American Oil Chemists Society, 35 E. Wacker Drive, Chicago 1, was founded in 1909 for technical and scientific workers engaged in the extraction, refinement, safety and quality control of animal, marine and vegetable oils and fats. The Society s activities include two scientific meetings a year, short refresher courses annually, certification of chemists as referees, sale of official reagents, distribution of check samples, the study of technical problems, and its publications. The Journal reports latest scientific and technical developments in oils and fats, and issues as a supplement the lectures given at the short courses. The Methods of Analysis are published in loose-leaf form with annual revisions, to serve as standards and form the basis for trading in fats, oils, oilseeds and soap.
