✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Investigations on a sample of New Zealand tall oil produced in the manufacture of wood pulp from New Zealand‐grown Pinus radiata, have shown it to contain trace quantities of the branched‐chain fatty acid (+)‐14‐methylhexadecanoic acid. Palmitic acid has also been shown to be present. Branched‐chain acids have not formerly been detected in tall oil, although their presence in wool grease,^1^ milk fat,^2,3^ animal depot fats,^4,5^ shark‐liver oil,^6,7^ the coccygeal glands of ducks and geese,^8^ and the lipids of certain bacilli^9,10^ is well established.
