Abstract
20 samples of biscuits of industrial origin were analyzed in order to deter mine their fat content (5-25.1%). The composition of the fat content was fu rther analyzed by gaschromatography: the results showed a clear prevalence of saturated fatty acids (from 45-50% to a maximum of 85%). Only in one pro duct containing hydrogenated fats, a fairly high percentage of trans oleic acid was found (6.5%).
