A number of fatty substances, covering a range from low to high degree of unsaturation, have been observed to emit light when heated. Relative intensities of light emitted at 200C are compared to degree of unsaturation. Activation energies were calculated for those samples giving approximately straight line plots of log G vs. 1/T, where G is galvanometer deflection and T is the absolute temperature.
