Samples of eight filled milk beverages and four liquid coffee whiteners were collected on or about the first day of 6 consecutive months. Fatty acid distributions were determined by gas-liquid chromatography, and percentages of total solids and fat were measured by standard methods.
There were two basic types of fatty acid distributions. One was characterized by predominantly lauric, myristic, palmitic, and stearic acids with a total saturated fatty acid content of more than 90%. The second contained predominantly oleic, linoleic, palmitic, and stearic acids with a total unsaturated fatty acid content of more than 75%. There was considerable variation in total solids and fat content.
