Abstract We report the use of SP-1200 (Supelco Inc.) for quantitative gas-chromatographic determination of short-chain fatty acids (C2-C5) in stool water. The ratio of peak areas for these acids to that for 2-methylvaleric acid (internal standard) is linear for each acid from 60 to 1800 mg/liter. Lactic acid, occasionally present in stool in abnormally high amounts, is not detectable as the free acid on SP-1200, but is determined as its propyl ester on diethyleneglycolsuccinate.

Methods for extraction, concentration and determination of minute quantities of soluble carbohydrates, lactic acid and volatile fatty acids have been described. Different factors affecting the accuracy of the determinations have been studied and corrections, where necessary, have been suggested.
