Spanish term or phrase: grasa butírica-butírica
This is from a (Mexican) paper on the effects of using butterfat in ice-cream. The results include observations on linear and quadratic terms.

Se observó que el término lineal de grasa butírica (X1) y el término cuadrático de grasa butírica-butírica (X12) tuvieron un efecto altamente significativo (P

square of (the amount of) butyric fat / butyric fat value squared
Explanation:
OK - the extra info changes things a bit. This relates to Polynomial Regression where there are main effects called grasa butírica/butyric fat/butterfat (x1), inulina/inulin (X2), azúcar/sugar (X3). The authors' notation is a little odd, but what they mean is that x1 is a linear effect, and x12 is a quadratic effect, so the model is [where a, b, c are constants that pop out of the data]:

response (y) = a + bx1 + cx12 + other terms

which is actually the same as

response (y) = a + bx1 + c(x1)^2 + other terms

i.e. there's a variable x1 for the amount of butyric fat and another variable x12 for the square of the amount of butyric fat.

See the Wiki article.

She's the boss, but that will confuse her readers. Preferably "butyric fat quadratic term". But if there's a hyphen, then what's before and after it need to be the same e.g. "butyric fat-butyric fat quadratic term"

disagree  Lisa McCarthy: Since when was 'grasa' translated as 'acid'? Any REFERENCES/PROOF that there exists something called 'butanoic-butanoic acid'? // No proof obviously, as I suspected. What is 'an OK from Proz'? Where???

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thank you, Donal. It was definitely the author's notation that had me confused. I contacted her for clarification and she wants me to use "butyric-butyric fat quadratic term." I'm no expert but it still sounds odd.

Asker: I used butyric fat quadratic term in the end and told the client my reasons. She was okay with it, thankfully. Thanks for your invaluable input.

I don't know why DLyons removed his answer

however, it does seem to point towards linear regression model

Reference information:
Qué es un helado y qué propiedades se miden.

https://www.google.com.uy/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=we...

El helado es una dispersión coloidal que consta de una fase dispersa, que se encuentra inmersa en una fase continua de alta viscosidad. La fase dispersa está compuesta por tres componentes principales que le dan su estructura: burbujas de aire, cristales de hielo y glóbulos de grasa emulsionados y dispersados. La fase líquida está compuesta a su vez por azúcares, proteínas de leche e hidrocoloides disueltos en agua no congela-da


Del artículo surge que hay dos propiedades que se miden sobre el helado terminado y son,

a) Ensayo de penetración
b) Ensayo de compresión

Del andamiento de las dos propiedades al principio de la curva se observa visualmente que si se hace una regresión lineal o cuadrática, probablemente ambas tengan un buen índice de correlación.

La redacción del texto deja mucho que desear en cuanto a claridad.
