A Chemical Study of Oils and Fats of Animal Origin
AOCS Press, May 2009, Pages: 388
M.E. Chevreul’s original French language publication “Recherches chimiques sur les corps gras d’origine animale” is important not only because it established the chemical nature of fats, but because it also conveys a historical perspective. Berzelius commented that Chevreul’s work should serve as a model for young chemists wishing to do research in any field of chemistry and went on to say that Chevreul’s investigations were the most complete and best executed series of experiments in all of chemistry.
The translator of this first English language edition 'A Chemical Study of Oils and Fats of Animal Origin' has produced a formidable work and valuable contribution to the literature.
