<i>Teucrium depressum</i> seed oil: A new source of fatty acids with Δ^‐‐unsaturation

Abstract

Abstract The seed oil of Teucrium depressum Small yields two unusual trienoid components, all‐ cis ‐5,9,12‐octadecatrienoic acid (6.7%) and trans ‐5, cis ‐9, cis ‐12‐octadecatrienoic acid (2.0%). A third unusual component, identified as cis ‐5, cis ‐9‐octadecadienoic acid, also occurs in this oil as a trace constituent.
