SEPARATION AND IDENTIFICATION OF TRIXIMENYNIN FROM SANTALUM SPICATUM R. BR

摘要

Seed lipids of Western Australian sandalwood (Santalum spicatum) were separated using preparative thin-layer chromatography. The oil contains about 49% oleic acid and about 40% ximenynic acid. The individual triacylglycerol bands were characterized by high-performance liquid chromatography and gas chromatography. The oil consisted of three major triglycerides: triximenynoyl-glycerol (triximenynin), an oleoyl-diximenynoyl-glycerol, and a dioleoylximenynoyl-glycerol, as demonstrated by gas chromatography with mass selective detection.
