Abstract
The fatty acids were analysed by chromatography of their methyl esters. Both odd- and even-numbered straight-chain fatty acids were present as well as 2 types of branched-chain odd-numbered saturated fatty acids. The principal unsaturated fatty acids contain 14, 16, and 18 C atoms.Keywords
