On the basis of various industrial importances of hydroxyl fatty acids we have investigated Sesbania aculeata seed oil. The most interesting finding is the presence of a hydroxyolefinic fatty acid (9.24%) along with other usual fatty acids such as lauric (2.51%), myristic (0.37%), palmitic (10.94%), palmitoleic (3.54%), stearic (4.02%), oleic (17.10%), linoleic (45.92%), linolenic (5.29%), arachidic (0.03%) and behenic (1.04%). The structure of this hydroxy fatty acid was established on the basis of spectral data (IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, MS) and chemical (catalytic hydrogenation, oxidative degradation) methods as (Z)-12-hydroxyoctadec-9-enoic (ricinoleic) acid.
