Natural fats nitrogen derivatives

Fatty amines are nitrogen derivatives of fatty acids, olefins, or alcohols prepared from natural sources, fats and oils, or petrochemical raw materials. Commercially available fatty amines consist of either a mixture of carbon chains or a specific chain length from C The amines are classified as... 

The putrefactive bacteria, which obviously must have acted in former times as they do at present, secrete proteolytic enzymes as well as amidases. In succession, these various enzymes exerted their action on the nitrogenous materials of marine animals to give finally, among numerous derivatives, volatile fatty adds, of which some were endowed with a rotatory power. These optically active substances, mixed with fats which had resisted bacterial decomposition, and subjected to the combined action of a high temperature and a strong pressure, formed the natural petroleums.
