Summary A Norwegian cod liver oil upon treatment with sulphur dioxide under pressure shows cis‐trans isomerization, conjugation (activation), and polymerization dependent on the reaction temperature. After a cis‐trans isomerization the reaction product can be separated into a higher melting part with a decreased iodine value and a liquid part with an increased degree of unsaturation.
