Thanks Donna, I was going to mention the exact same
reference.

p.s. Group question:
Does anyone know which calculation for the correlation
of the result of acid number method and methylation
method of fatty acid analysis is correct. I have been
using Cs/Es where Cs is the acid number from the
titration method and Es is the acid number of the
sample. This is for determination of fatty acid
percent in candle waxes. I have had a person tell me
it doesn't matter which way you divide, however, I
have found this to be incorrect. The method tolerance
for the correlation is 0.8-1.20. the original
calculation was done by an Asian lab and I have since
modified to suit U.S. Customs requirements. If anyone
has any paraffin or candle experience and can help me
with this, please reply.
Thanking you in advance,
