Hydroxy acids and estolide triglycerides ofHeliophila amplexicaulis L.f. Seed oil

  • Published:
Lipids

Abstract

Thirty percent of the fatty acids fromHeliophila amplexicaulis seed oil are hydroxy acids, primarily lesquerolic acid (14-hydroxy-cis-11-eicosenoic acid) with a trace of a new fatty acid, 16-hydroxy-cis-13-docosenoic acid. The hydroxy acids in the oil are found exclusively in the 1 and/or 3 positions of the triglycerides and are completely acylated with C20 or C22 saturated or monoenoic acids.
