Abstract

An albumin-dye complex is prepared containing serum or plasma albumin which is substantially free of endogenous fatty acids and which has been complexed with a fatty acid and dye which dye may be displaced from the albumin-dye complex by free fatty acids. The complex is used to quantitatively determine fatty acids, compounds which hydrolyze to fatty acids or activity of hydrolase enzymes that produce fatty acids from a substrate.
