The Composition of the Fatty Acids Liberated from the Phospholipids in the Preparation of Salted Codfish

Abstract
The component fatty acids of the phospholipids of fresh and light salted cod flesh were determined. During the preparation of light salted "Gaspé cure" codfish 77% of the phospholipids fatty acids are set free. The fatty acids liberated are mainly the C20 and C22 highly unsaturated. The C92 acids have a mean unsaturation of −11.5 H. The C16 saturated and unsaturated acids are also preferentially liberated.
