The kernel oil of Chinese tallow(Sapium sebiferum) seed contains tetraester triglycerides composed oftrans‐2, cis‐4‐decadienoic acid joined in an estolide linkage to 8‐hydroxy‐5, 6‐octadienoic acid. A rapid (< 10 min) method of separation and quantitation of the tri‐glyceride and estolide triglyceride fractions of the oil has been devel‐oped using high performance liquid chromatography with infrared detection.
