The fatty acid compositions of crayfish hepatopancreas lipids have been studied. Seven homologous unusual furanoid fatty acids, detected by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, accounted for 18% of the cholesteryl ester fatty acids. The major component among them was 12, 15-epoxy-13, 14-dimethyleicosa-12, 14-dienoic acid (47%), and the hitherto unknown 8, 11-epoxy-9, 10-dimethylhexadeca-8, 10-dienoic acid was also present. These acids were concentrated in cholesteryl esters, and only trace amounts were found in triglycerides and phospholipids. The distribution of furanoid fatty acids in crayfish did not correspond to that in fish. This is the first report of fatty acids containing a furan ring in crustaceans.
