Extract

Butterfat has been shown to contain the normal odd-numbered saturated acids n-nonadecanoic acid (C19), n-heneicosanoic acid (C21), and n-tricosanoic acids (C23).

The presence of the normal even-numbered acids n-octadecanoic acid (C18), n-docosanoic acid (C22), n-tetracosanoic acid (C24) and n-hexacosanoic acid (C26) is conclusively established.

n-Eicosanoic acid (C20) formerly assumed to be present in butterfat has been isolated and identified by its physical and chemical properties.
