Abstract
The authors previously showed that the fatty acids of tri-caprin and triundecylin undergo [omega]-oxidation in the human, to give dibasic acids. (Hoppe-Seyler''s Zeitschr. Physiol. Chem. 215, 225 (1933); Biochem Jour., 28, 31 (1934)). Mixed glycerides containing these fatty acids also yield dibasic acids. Elm seed oil is highly objectionable as a food fat, since it contains 50% capric acid. 22 gm. sebacic acid was recovered from the urine after ingestion of 30 gm. of elm seed oil. Intarvin was found to contain fatty acids with 14,15, 16, 17, and 18 C atoms. No dibasic acids could be recovered after its ingestion. Coconut oil containing lauric and myristic acids as glycerides, also showed no evidence of [omega]-oxidation.
