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.This publication has 21 references indexed in Scilit:
