An extract of secretion from the sebaceous glands on head and neck of sexually active feral billygoats increases the number of does ovulating. The extract was placed on cotton wool and worn in facemasks. 4-Ethyloctanoic acid and 4-methyloctanoic acid, responsible for the goaty odor, were not active but both the free fatty acid and lipid-free non-acid fractions were. The 4-ethyl branched fatty acids are present in the active fraction (Birch etal., 1989).

For example, lamb/mutton has a distinctive aroma, which to some extent determines its lesser popularity. The main aromatic component of heat-treated meat is an unusual, branched fatty acid 4-ethyloctanoic acid (8-183) that has a waxy, fatty, creamy, moldy, sour sweaty, cheesy odour with animal-like nuances, and occurs as an almost racemic mixture of the enantiomers. The odour thresholds of the +)- R)- and (-)-(S)-enantiomers are <13 and <6 xg/l in air, respectively. 4-Ethyloctanoic acid (also identified in stewed beef gravy and goat and sheep cheeses) is accompanied by 4-methyloctanoic acid. The 4-ethyloctanoic acid content is approximately the same in raw meat but higher in fat.
