Abstract
Volatile fatty acids and alcohols which were produced from the phospholipids by autoxidation were examined by gaschromatography and thin layer chromatography. The following compounds were characterized; acetic acid, propionic acid, iso-butilic acid, n-butilic acid, n-valelic acid, methanol, ethanol, propanol, iso-butanol, n-butanol, iso-pentanol, and n-pentanol. Acetic acid and ethanol were the major components, and showed 94% in a total fatty acid and over 98% in a total alcohol, respectively.
