ABSTRACT
The fatty acid compositions of 106 milk samples taken during the period of June, 1960, to June, 1961, are given as biweekly averages. Analyses were made by gas-liquid chromatography. Seasonal trends were noticeable, with 18:0 and 18:1 higher in the summer than in other seasons. This trend was reversed with 12:0, 14:0, and 16:0. Average values (per cent of total lipids) for the major acids were: 4:0—3.75, 6:0—2.22, 8:0—1.17, 10:0—2.54, 12:0—2.81, 14:0—10.06, 16:0—24.97, 18:0—12.07, 18:1—27.09, 18:2—2.39, and 18.3—2.06. Values are given for 11 additional acids.
