Reagent used to evaluate fatty acids
This is a reagent listed in a table of reagents used to evaluate fatty acid content of a nutraceutical product. Benzenemethanol is another reagent in this list. Is acetilclorhídrico a misspelling of ácido clorhídrico (hydrochloric acid)? Or is hydrochloric acetyl really a thing? I'm not finding any convincing leads.

acetyl chloride
I'm not chemist, but I think this is a misnomer for "cloruro de acetilo", CH3COCl, i.e. acetyl chloride.
Just about the only references I can find to "acetilclorhídrico" refer to the pioneering synthesis of acetylsalicylic acid by Charles-Frédéric Gerhardt in 1853. The following is from a Madrid doctoral thesis in Medicine:
"En 1853, el químico francés Charles Frederic Gerhardt neutralizó el ácido salicílico con sodio y acetilclorhídrico formando ácido acetilsalicílico"
https://eprints.ucm.es/32738/1/T36246.pdf (pp. 28-29)
Compare:
"In 1853, chemist Charles Frédéric Gerhardt treated acetyl chloride with sodium salicylate to produce acetylsalicylic acid for the first time"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_aspirin
Acetyl chloride fits the bill because it's used for fatty acid analysis:
"Acetyl chloride has been used in the Lepage and Roy fatty acids analysis, and robotic fatty acid analysis."

Note from asker:
| Thanks for your ready help with this, Charles. Acetyl chloride seems to fit the context. |
