Abstract:

Fresh royal jelly was analyzed for its fatty acid composition by GC-MS method. There were seven kinds of main fatty acids found in royal jelly. Among them were 10-hydroxy-2-decenoic acid (21.73%), decanedioic acid (20.64%), 2- dodecenedioic acid (19.87%), 10-hydroxydecanoic acid (10.85%), 3-hydroxy-decanoic acid (7.43%), 11-hydroxy-dodecanoic acid (2.37%) and 9,12,15-octadecatrienoic acid (5.00%).

Key words: royal jelly, fatty acids, 10-hydroxy-2-decenoic acid, GC-MS
