Abstract

AbstractSeed oil of H. esculentus contains both cyclopropene (malvalic 0.9% and sterculic 0.3%) and cis‐12,13‐epoxyoleic (10.1%0 acids besides the other usual fatty acids. Characterization of HBr‐reactive acids was done by the use of chromatographic, spectroscopic and chemical methods. Quantitation of cyclopropene and vernolic acids has been done collectively by the HBr titration, preparative TLC and GLC analysis. Seed oils of Vernonia anthelmintica and Sterculia foetida were used reference samples.
