Abstract
The occurrence and distribution of santalbic acid in the plant kingdom are reported and discussed. This conjugated acetylenic fatty acid, octadeca-11-trans-en-9-ynoic acid (in “Delta Notation” 18:2Δ9a,11t), occurs in members of the santalalean plant families, mostly in tropical and subtropical areas. The range is from only traces up to 95.0 % of total fatty acids in the seed oil. However, some caution is required during the analysis, so the presence of this acid may have been overlooked sometimes. This fatty acid may be toxic to humans, but may be of interest for technical purposes because of a reactive functional group.
