 1980.    KRAUT, H., WEISCHER, A., AND HUGEL, R.  [Suitability of Fats Synthetized From Fatty Acids or From 6 to 12 C Atoms.  I.  Preparation of the Synthetic Fats and Their Hydrolysis by Pancreatic Lipase.]  Biochem. Ztschr., vol. 316, 1943, pp. 96-107; Chem. Abs., vol. 38, 1944, pp. 4626-4627.

        Experiments were made with fats from various lower fat acids to determine the lipase action in alkaline or acid medium and in a medium of variable pH.  The hydrolysis is greater the smaller the molecular weight of the triglyceride, but no appreciable difference was found between fat acids with even or odd C numbers.
