Abstract

A distinctive feature of horse fat from other animal fats is the presence of amino acids and keratin in its composition, which are not found in other oils, including polyunsaturated fatty acids, proteins, microelements, vitamins A, E, PP, B. The aim of this work is to separate fatty acids from horse fat and analyze them. The process of separating fatty acids included the stages of saponification with sodium hydroxide, decomposition of the resulting soaps in the presence of concentrated sulfuric acid. The study of the composition of the separated fatty acids by the chromatograph mass spectrometric method of analysis established the presence of such fatty acids as palmitic, oleic (36.77%), (33.55%), linolenic (14.55%), pentadecanoic acid (4.23%) and others in significantly smaller quantities. Further studies will be aimed at obtaining surfactants based on the separated fatty acids.
