Twenty‐three fatty acids have been identified in the oils from pecan ( Carya illinoensis Wang) kernels. In addition to confirming the 10 previously reported, 13 newly identified acids were found in 2 years’ sampling of four varieties of pecans. Newly identified acids are: decanoic, dodecanoic, dodecenoic, tetradecanoic, tetradecenoic, tetra‐decadienoic, pentadecanoic, pentadecenoic, pentadecadienoic, hexa‐decadienoic, heptadecadienoic, eicosenoic, and heneicosanoic acids. All but one were present in all oil samples in quantities of less than 0.1%; tetradecanoic acid averaged ca 1.2%.
