The alkyl moieties in wax esters and alkyl diacyl glycerols of sharks

Friedrich Spener and Helmut K. Mangold

University of Minnesota, The Hormel Institute, Austin, Minnesota 55912

The alkyl moieties in wax esters and alkyl diacyl glycerols from the liver of the dogfish, soupfin shark, and silky shark are almost exclusively saturated and monounsaturated, the main alkyl moieties being the C₁₆ and C₁₈ chains in both lipid classes. However, the alkyl moieties in wax esters occur in a wider range of chain lengths. The unsaturated alkyl moieties in the two classes of lipids are mixtures of isomers. The distribution of isomeric octadecenyl moieties in wax esters and alkyl diacyl glycerols is almost the same.

Supplementary key words alcohols • alkyl glycerols • isomeric octadecenyl moieties • Elasmobranchii • dogfish liver • soupfin shark liver • silky shark liver • Squalus acanthias • Galeorhinus zyopterus • Carcharhinus falciformis
