Abstract
AbstractJasminum auriculatum (Vahl) (family: Malvaceae) widely grown in India was analysed for its fatty acids and waxy constituents. Straight‐chain hydrocarbons (C20‐C34), fatty acids (C14‐C23) and fatty alcohols (C21‐C32) were found in the 95% aqueous ethanol extract of the leaves of the plant. Malvalic acid was the only cyclic acid identified. Hydrocarbons (C29 and C31), fatty acids (C16, C18, C18:1, C18:2, C18:3 and C22) and fatty alcohols (iso‐C26, C28 and C30) were the major components. Four polyalcohols, namely D‐mannitol, xylitol, inositol and sorbitol, have also been found in the alcoholic extract of the leaves.
