Abstract
The uropygial (preen) gland fat of the fulmar (fulmarus glacialis) was shown to be a complex mixture of ester waxes. Acidic components were homologous series of 3-, 4- and 6-monomethylsubstituted, and 2,6-, as well as 3,7-dimethyl-substituted fatty acids. Besides, 2-methyl, 2,4-, 4,6-, and 4,8-dimethyl-substituted fatty acids could be detected. The alcoholic components belonged to homologous series of n-alkanols, and 2-, 4-, and 6-methyl-substituted primary alkanols. Furthermore, 14-methyl-hexadecanol could be identified.Keywords
