Notes:
Caprine (goat), ovine (sheep), bovine (cow), equine (horse), swine (pig), and cervine (deer) perinephric fats were quantitatively analyzed for volatile alkylphenols, phenol, and thiophenol. Highly characterizing sheepy-muttony aromas in ovine fats were contributed by p-cresol, 2-isopropylphenol, 3,4-dimethylphenol, thymol, carvacrol, 3-isopropylphenol, and 4-isopropylphenol. Alkylphenols did not appear to contribute distinguishing flavors to caprine, cervine, and veal fats. Cresols (o-, m-, p-), especially m-cresol, appeared to contribute to beef flavors. Diisopropylphenols may contribute oily flavors to equine fat. High concentrations of thiophenol potentiated unpleasant mutton aromas in ram fat.
