Abstract
Seed oil ofPhyllanthus niruri (Euphorbiaceae) contains 1.2% ricinoleic (12‐hydroxy‐cis‐9‐octadecenoic) acid, previously unknown in the genusPhyllanthus. Identification is based on thin layer and gas liquid chromatography, infrared, nuclear magnetic resonance, and mass spectrometry analysis as well as chemical methods. Other major components of the oil are linoleic acid (21%) and linolenic acid (51.4%).Keywords
