Abstract
Summary: The identification and approximate quantitative determination of methyl esters of fatty acids from commercial butterfat was obtained with a combined gaschromatograph-mass spectrometer instrument. Fifty-two components, straight chain saturated and unsaturated, as well as branched chain compounds, were identified. Seven monomethyl saturated fatty acid methyl ester isomers were identified for both C15and C17, i.e. with chain lengths of 14 and 16 carbon atoms, respectively. Multibranched fatty acids with molecular weights of 326 and 368 were found. The results were obtained in one day.Keywords
