Abstract
In the unsaponifiable matter of refined olive oils and, frequently, vi rgin olive oils of bad quality, a new compound with polarity between t hose of squalene and triterpenic alcohols was isolated. Mass spectrome try of this compound and of their hydrogenated and sililated derivativ es, demonstrated that the compound was a long chain alcohol having 426 of molecular weight, polyisoprenic structure similar to that of squal ene, and the hydroxyl group attached at the C-2 carbon atom.
