Investigation of the carbonyl compounds in the hexane extractable lipid of raw poultry skin revealed that the only monocarbonyl present was acetone. Furthermore, in male turkeys the level of acetone was significantly greater than the level observed in either chickens or female turkeys. During maturation, increased acetone concentrations were accompanied by low lipid deposition in the tissue.
