IT has been demonstrated1–5 that prolonged and vigorous saponification of the mixed free acids of fish-liver oils causes remarkable changes in their chemical structure and in the absorption in the ultra-violet. When saponifying the acids of cod liver oil in this way, I observed a remarkable change in the Carr and Price reaction of these acids.
