Abstract
The fatty acids obtained on hydrolysis of
sebum from newly-born babies contained approximately equal amounts of saturated
and unsaturated fatty acids and 10% of α-hydroxyacids. Gas chromatographic
examination showed that the saturated fatty acids (C12 to C30)
contained 78% branched-chain and 22% normal compounds, while the unsaturated
acids (C12 to C32) contained 15% branched and 85% normal
compounds. The a-hydroxyacids (C10 to C26) contained 79%
branched-chain and 21% normal components and had little if any unsaturation.
The high proportion of branched-chain acids suggests that these are not likely
to be exogenous.
