Fatty acid compositions of seed oils from three species of Bombacaceae, eleven from
Malvaceae, and six from Sterculiaceae were determined. Each of the seed oils contains
varying amounts of both malvalic and sterculic acids accompanied by one or both of the
corresponding cyclopropane fatty acids. In addition, the seed oil of Pachira aquatic
Aubl.(Bombacaeae) contains 12.8% α-hydroxysterculic acid.
