Triglyceride specific heat determined by differential scanning calorimetry

Abstract
The specific heats of the three polymorphic forms of trilaurin, trimyristin, tripalmitin and tristearin have been determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Results from ‐90 to +100 C for the triglycerides were obtained and compared with the literature values determined by classical methods. Agricultural Research Service, US Department of Agriculture.
