A. Low temperature crystallization of glycerides B. Some of the 18 and 20 carbon atom acids

  • Published:
Oil & Soap

Summary

A saturated glyceride from crude menhaden oil contained myristic, palmitic, stearic, and a small quantity of higher molecular weight acids.

The glycerides of destearinated menhaden oil have been fractionated by crystallization from acetone at low temperatures.

Distillation of methyl esters has given in the distillate Δ 9, 10 and Δ 11, 12-octadecenoic acids, an octadecatetrenoic acid, Δ 11, 12-eicosenoic acid, and an eicosapentenoic acid.
