Isolation and identification of new constituents in milk fat

After removal of cholesterol on a digitonin column, the unsaponifiable matter of milk fat was examined for alcoholic substituents. Derivatization with pyruvic acid chloride 2,6-dinitrophenylhydrazone and fractionation of the derivatives gave four main fractions. The second, the hexane-benzene fracti...
