Abstract
Phosphatides of horse muscles and brains were emulsified with H2O and then acidified. This treatment liberated the plasmal, which could be separated in lipoid form by steam distillation. On coupling the product with thio-semicarbazide in alkaline soln., 2 carbazones were formed, which differed in solubility and odor. The odorless fraction was analyzed as a mixture of palmitic and stearic aldehydes, the ratio of which varied from 9:1 in the muscle phosphatides, to 1:1 in the brain phosphatides. The other plasmal fraction was probably an unsaturated aldehyde.
