A colorimetric assay for the determination of long-chain free fatty acids (FFA) is described. The FFA were extracted from subcellular organelles with chloroform:heptane:methonal. The Cu soaps of FFA were colorimetrically determined with diphenylcarbazide. There are 3 advantages to employing the present modified procedure: the sensitivity is increased .apprx. 2-fold over the previous procedure of Falholt et al; it takes less time to complete the assay compared to the tedious procedures currently available; and the presence of bovine serum albumin, a known FAA-binding protein, does not interfere with the assay procedure. The assay shows a linear response over the range of 10-130 nmol of FFA. The recovery of free fatty acids from [rat liver] mitochondria is 99%.
