Methods currently used for quantitating total fat and fatty acid composition in feedstuffs require solvent extraction, purification,and esterification followed by gas chromatographic analysis. A 2-h, one-step extraction-transesterification procedure using 5.0 mL of solvent mixture consisting of methanol-benzene (or chloroform)-acetyl chloride (20:27:3) for 50-500 mg of sample containing 10-50 mg of fatty acids is described, which gave reproducible results for fatty acid content and composition of many feedstuffs, oilseeds, calcium soap, milk fat, and feces samples. The procedure also was useful for quantitating fatty acids of oil extracted by Soxhlet and of lipid classes separated by thin-layer chromatography. The one-step extraction- transesterification procedure is simple, rapid, convenient, and quantitative; fatty acids are determined specifically, providing a precise estimate of nutritative value of fats. The method is useful both for research and commercial purposes.
