Preferred Label : Van de Kamer Titration Method;
NCIt definition : A chemical titration method described by van de Kamer, et al. in 1949 in which fecal
fat is quantitatively measured by conversion of fecal lipids into fatty acids through
saponification with ethanolic potassium hydroxide, release of the free fatty acids
by the addition of hydrochloric acid and extraction into ether, and titration of the
fatty acids against sodium hydroxide.;
