Major end product of beta oxidation of odd chain fatty acids:
Odd chain fatty acid on beta-oxidation Give many Acetyl CoA (released at every step) and only 1 Propionyl CoA. In 17 C fatty acid ( odd chain ) , when it's broken down , 7 molecules of acetyl CoA ( 14 C)and 1 molecule of propionyl CoA (3C) are obtained So, major end product is Acetyl CoA whereas Propionyl CoA is a minor end product.
Propionyl CoA
Succinyl CoA
Acetyl CoA
Malonyl CoA
