and Summary Several previous studies of the radiolysis of fats and related compounds such as pure triglycerides, fatty acid methyl esters, and free fatty acids, have led to the hypothesis that radiolytic products result from selective cleavages at specific locations. This hypothesis is confirmed by the results of mass spectrometric analysis of the compounds formed upon gamma irradiation of tributyrin labeled with deuterium in the glycerol moiety. Compounds derived from alkyl, acyl, and acyloxy cleavages are characterized by the absence of deuterium whereas those involving the glyceryl moiety are found to carry the deuterium labels.
