Abstract

A quantitative study of the effect of various heat treatments on methyl ketone formation in butteroil was conducted. Methyl ketone formation was found to follow first-order reaction kinetics. The energy of activation was calculated to be approximately 26.55 kcal/mole. The ketones were formed in a fairly constant molar ratio approximating to the following C15,2∶C13,1∶C11,1∶C9,1∶C7,2∶C5,1. The temperature-time conditions had little or no effect on the ratio.
