To determine the component glyceride structure and fatty acid distribution of stillingia oil to understand its performance as a drying oil.
Resolved stillingia oil glycerides into distinct fractions using low-temperature crystallization from acetone.
Determined the molar proportions and structural positions of specific constituent fatty acids across the resolved fractions.
Deca-2:4-dienoic acid comprised approximately 8% (mol.) of total acids, occurring almost exclusively at the symmetrical beta position of monodecadienoic di-C18-polyethenoid glycerides.
Linolenic acid accounted for 51% and linoleic acid for 22% of total acids, producing a 95% total proportion of tripolyethenoid glycerides.
Chief constituents identified were linoleodilinolenins, decadienolinoleolinolenins, and decadieno-dilinolenins, exceeding the tripolyethenoid concentration of linseed oil.

Implication

Chemical analysis reveals high tripolyethenoid glyceride content in stillingia oil, explaining its superior drying performance relative to linseed oil in paint films.
