Mid‐chain ethyl substituted fatty acids with chain lengths ranging from 10 to 16 carbon atoms were identified in a concentrate of branched chain fatty acids isolated from the triacylglycerol fatty acids of the subcutaneous adipose tissue of barley‐fed lambs. The acids were identified by gas chromatography in combination with mass spectrometry and their mass spectral features are discussed.
