Abstract

Gas chromatography of the volatile by-products produced during the catalytic hydrogenation of an autoxidized soybean oil with a peroxide number of 11.2 meq/kg yielded approx 41 peaks. Twenty-one of the gas chromatographic fractions were collected and rechromatographed, and their chemical identity studied with micro-iR and mass spectrophotometry. These volatile by-products, according to peak area of gas chromatogram, showed a predominance of hydrocarbons and alcohols.

The fractions which have been identified aren-octane,n-nonane,n-decane,n-heptadecane,n-hexanol,n-heptanol,n-decanol,n-hexanal,n-decanal and 3-nonanone. Among the gas chromatographic fractions collected,n-decanol has an odor most reminiscent of that of catalytic hydrogenation.
