The volatile constituents of used frying oils obtained from a local food-processing plant were isolated by simultaneous distillation-extraction and fractionated by silica gel column chromatography. The isolates were analyzed by capillary gas chromatography and combined capillary gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, resulting in the identification of 140 compounds. The major constituents identified were 1-
