Partial hydrogenation of finback whale oil with nickelsilica gel as catalyst to the extent that the products indicate the iodine value of 83 shows that highly unsaturated acids with F2 or more are selectively hydrogenated mostly to F1-acids, while F1-acids remain unsaturated. The reaction is not affeeted by the temperature (180° and 210°) and proceeds, at 210°, 1.44 times faster than at 180°.
