Abstract
1) The properties of Finles porpoise oil were studied.
2) Fatty acid composition of Finles porpoise oil was analyzed by gas-liquid chromatograph using a hydrogen ionization detector on a DEGS column.
3) The results obtained are as follows:
Total saturated fatty acids 23.1 %
octanoic 0.1%
decanoic 0.2 %
dodecanoic 0.9 %
dodecanoic (branched) 0.3 %
tridecanoic 0.2 %
tetradecanoic 8.4 %
tetradecanoic (branched) 0.4%
pentadecanoic 1.1%
hexadecanoic 7.2 %
octadecanoic 0.9 %
eicosanoic 1.8%
Total unsaturated fatty acids 76.9 %
C12 monoenoic 0.7 %
C14 monoenoic 4.1%
C14 dienoic 0.7 %
C16 monoenoic 26.9 %
C16 dienoic 1.9%
C16 trienoic 1.9%
C18 monoenoic 20.4%
C18 dienoic 2.1%
C18 trienoic 2.0 %
C20 monoenoic 1.4%
C20 trienoic 1.7%
C20 tetraenoic 4.6%
C22 pentaenoic 3.9%
C22 hexaenoic 5.3%
