SUMMARY— The solid compound formed by treating L-lysine with linoleic acid has been examined by chemical stoichiometry, electrical conductivity, infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The compound has been shown to be a true equimolar salt. Evidence from nmr and ir spectroscopy shows that the diene system of the linoleic acid is not changed from that in the free fatty acid. Conductivity measurements show that the salt is a moderately strong electrolyte. Salts of other basic amino acids, ornithine and 2,4-diaminobutyric acid, with linoleic and oleic acids were also examined and showed similar evidence. Interpretation of the data and the significance of the findings to stability of amino acid salts of unsaturated fatty acids are discussed.
