The melting point of Fatty Acids C16 -C18 and C18 -unstd., Me esters has been measured according to Council Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008, Method A.1, by Thermal analysis (DSC)
Reference
Melting point was calculated manually by interpretation of the curves either by determination of the intersection point between the baseline and the slope of the curve before the peak (Tel) or the temperature corresponding to highest value of the heat flow (Tp)
