Abstract
The C18 monoenoic acids inPicramnia sellowii Planch. seed oil include bothcis-andtrans-6-octadecenoic acids, as well as oleic acid. The hexadecenoic acids are also thecis- andtrans-Δ6-isomers, and the eicosenoic acids have Δ6-unsaturation of undetermined geometric configuration. The C18 polyenoic acids detected are 9,12- and 6,9-octadecadienoic and 9,12,15- and 6,9,12-octadecatrienoic acids. Partial investigation of another species,P. pentandra Sw., revealed its oil to have a similar fatty acid composition.
