The Fatty Acid Composition of the Seed Oil of Lindera strychnifolia (Sieb. et Zucc.) F. Vill., and Its Peculiarity

Abstract

The fatty acids of the seed oil of Lindera strychnifolia (Sieb. et Zucc.) F. Viii. isolated by distillation, column chromatography and preparative gas chromatography were identified by gas chromatography, infrared, mass and nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry. The fatty acids identified were decanoic, dodecanoic, cis-4-dodecenoic, tetradecanoic, cis-4-tetradecenoic, hexadecanoic, hexadecenoic, octadecanoic, oleic, linoleic and eicosenolc acid. The major component was cis-4-tetradecenoic acid.
