Abstract
Summary The isoprenoid fatty acid 4,8,12-trimethyltridecanoic acid has been isolated from butterfat and identified. This acid was found to be a DD diastereoisomer, and was thought to have been derived from the phytol moiety of chlorophyll. It was estimated that in the sample of butterfat investigated, 4,8,12-trimethyltridecanoic acid constituted about 0·005% of the total weight of fatty acids.Keywords
