Estolide triglycerides ofTrewia nudiflora seed oil

  • Published:
Lipids

Abstract

The seed oil ofTrewia nudiflora is known to contain glycerides of α-kamlolenic (18-hydroxy-cis-9,trans-11,trans-13-octadecatrienoic) acid. We have shown that a large part of these glycerides contain estolides in which the hydroxyl group of α-kamlolenic acid is esterified to a molecule of another acid, either a hydroxy acid or an ordinary fatty acid. By preparative thin layer chromatography, we isolated a series of tri-, tetra-, penta- and hexaacyl glycerols. By lipolysis and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, we isolated and characterized estolide-linked fatty acids containing two acid moieties.
