SELECTED TOPICS IN THE ANALYSIS OF LIPIDS

Unless otherwise stated, many of the following articles were written originally by Dr William W. Christie for the journal 'Lipid Technology'. They were revised substantially before publication as webpages here. In addition, there are some more substantial reviews from the 'Advances in Lipid Methodology' series. We are grateful to P.J. Barnes & Associates (The Oily Press) for permission publish this material. Some original articles appear here also and more will follow by many different authors. Further relevant articles are available in other subsections of the Analysis component of this site.
