'Lifesaving' test for all by Evening Gazette (Middlesbrough, England) This technique employs commonly available chemicals, is not water-sensitive and allows for the conversion of fatty acid salts, as well as the acyl components in all lipid classes, such as triacylglycerols, phospholipids, sphingolipids, and waxes, to methyl esters using a simple direct single-vial digestion and esterification procedures.
