Abstract:
Kamala oil has been found to contain about 60% of kamlolenic acid as the only major component with minor proportions of common linoleic, oleic, and saturated acids and probably some conjugated diethenoid acid. The saturated components consist mostly of myristic and palmitic acids. Consecutive extraction of kamala seeds with petroleum ether and ethyl ether yields two fractions of the oil, containing about 40% and 80% of kamlolenic acid, respectively. During storage a portion of the unsaturated glycerides seems to undergo polymerization within the seed itself and appears as an insoluble gelatinous mass during saponification of the oil.
