The fatty acids of the seed oil of Lindera obtusiloba Blume isolated by distillation and column chro_natomatography were identified by gas chromatography, JR. Mass, NMR spectrometry and the chemical methods. The fatty acids identified were octanoic, decanoic, cis-4-decenoic, undecanoic, dodecenoic, cis-4-dodecenoic, tridecanoic, tetradecanoic, cis-4-tetradecenoic, pentadecanoic, hesadecanoic, hexadecenoic octadecanoic, oleic, linoleic and eicosenoic acid. The major component was cis-4-dodecenoic acid.
