The quantification of fecal Ca-fatty acid soaps is important to understand how fatty acids behave in the gastrointestinal tract. As current methods to extract Ca-fatty acid soaps from feces give low recoveries an accurate assay to determine the amount of fatty acid soaps in feces was developed. Ca-fatty acid soaps are determined indirectly after non-soap fatty acid compounds have been extracted from the feces. Synthetic Ca-fatty acid soaps of different chain lengths (C12-C18) and degree of saturation (C180-C182) were incubated with se
