Investigations on a sample of New Zealand tall oil produced in the manufacture of wood pulp from New Zealand‐grown Pinus radiata , have shown it to contain trace quantities of the branched‐chain fatty acid (+)‐14‐methylhexadecanoic acid. Palmitic acid has also been shown to be present. Branched‐chain acids have not formerly been detected in tall oil, although their presence in wool grease, 1 milk fat, 2,3 animal depot fats, 4,5 shark‐liver oil, 6,7 the coccygeal glands of ducks and geese, 8 and the lipids of certain bacilli 9,10 is well established.
