The mechanisms of mass spectrometric fragmentation and their applications to the elucidation of structure of lipids related to fatty acids are reviewed. The mechanism of fragmentation of saturated fatty acids and the mass spectrometric determination of the position of the double bond in unsaturated esters are emphasized. The use of pyrolysis‐mass spectrometry for locating double bonds is introduced. Patterns of fragmentation of wax esters and glycerides are also given.
