Fd. Gunstone, THE STUDY OF NATURAL EPOXY OILS AND EPOXIDIZED VEGETABLE-OILS BY C-13NUCLEAR-MAGNETIC-RESONANCE SPECTROSCOPY, Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, 70(11), 1993, pp. 1139-1144
The C-13 nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of Vernonia galamensis see
d oil and of epoxidized palm super olein, soybean oil and linseed oil
have been recorded and interpreted. The chemical shifts of the major s
ignals are assigned and semi-quantitative results are derived. The spe
ctroscopic procedure provides a useful method of analyzing oils that c
ontain epoxy acids. The epoxide function differs from a double bond in
its influence on the chemical shifts of nearby carbon atoms.
