Abstract
As a part of our screening program on unusual fatty acid-containing seed oils, we observed that the oil of Zanthoxylum alatum contains 15.4% of a C16 monoenoic acid. It was characterized as cis-9-hexa-decenoic by the GLC analysis of oxidative cleavage fragments from an isolated monoene fraction.
