Yd. Liu et al., SEPARATION AND IDENTIFICATION OF TRIXIMENYNIN FROM SANTALUM-SPICATUM R. BR, Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, 74(10), 1997, pp. 1269-1272
Seed lipids of Western Australian sandalwood (Santalum spicatum) were
separated using preparative thin-layer chromatography. The oil contain
s about 49% oleic acid and about 40% ximenynic acid. The individual tr
iacylglycerol bands were characterized by high-performance liquid chro
matography and gas chromatography. The oil consisted of three major tr
iglycerides: triximenynoyl-glycerol (triximenynin), an oleoyl-diximeny
noyl-glycerol, and a dioleoylximenynoyl-glycerol, as demonstrated by g
as chromatography with mass selective detection.
