Abstract

The solubility of tristearin has been determined quantitatively in hexane, benzene, carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, ethyl acetate, acetone and ordinary unhydrogenated cottonseed oil. The solubility of this triglyceride is decreased markedly by increased polarity of the solvents. In the presence of solvents, tristearin exhibits three distinct solubility curves corresponding to the three crystalline forms established previously by melting point determinations and X-ray measurements. The occurrence of a fourth crystalline form reportedly melting at 70Â° is not confirmed by the solubility studies.
