“…In the present work, coronaric acid was detected in both Albizia seed oils investigated. The levels of coronaric acid observed here for Albizia seed oils coincide with the coronaric acid levels observed in species of the related Acacia genus as discussed above. Besides coronaric acid, minor amounts of vernolic acid and 9,10‐epoxy‐octadecanoic acid were observed with methyl vernolate eluting just before methyl coronarate.…”

“…For example, in one study, various acacia species contained between 3.1 and 6.2% coronaric acid while another report confirms this with levels of 3.2–6.3% coronaric acid . Higher levels (7–9%) of coronaric acid were reported in three Acacia arabica varieties . Furthermore, coronaric acid was detected in some peanut ( Arachis hypogeae ) germplasms , with A. hypogeae also belonging to the Fabaceae family.…”

“…The seed oils of species from other families, Sterculaceae , Bombacaceae , Tiliceae , and Sapindaceae , as well as some bacteria have been reported to contain such fatty acids with carbocyclic moieties. One paper also discusses that cyclopropene fatty acids were found in three A. arabica seed oils besides coronaric acid as mentioned above . Thus, it is also straightforward to check if the seed oils of Albizia species might contain fatty acids with such cyclic moieties.…”

“…No fatty acid profile listed in Tables 1 and 2 indicates the presence of fatty acids with epoxy or other cyclic moieties in Albizia species. On the other hand, oils obtained from species of the genus Acacia, which also belong to the Fabaceae family, were shown to contain coronaric acid (9,10-epoxy-12(Z)octadecenoic acid) [42][43][44][45]. For example, in one study, various acacia species contained between 3.1 and 6.2% coronaric acid [43] while another report confirms this with levels of 3.2-6.3% coronaric acid [44].…”

In this work, the fatty acid profiles of the seed oils of Albizia lebbeck and Albizia saman (Samanea saman) are reported. The oils were analyzed by GC, GC-MS and NMR. The most prominent fatty acid in both oils is linoleic acid (30-40%), followed by palmitic acid and oleic acid for A. lebbeck and oleic acid and behenic acid for A. saman. Both oils contain slightly more than 30% saturated fatty acids with stearic, eicosanoic and tetracosanoic acids present as well as odd-numbered saturated fatty acids in minor amounts. Furthermore, for the first time, epoxy fatty acids are reported in the fatty acid profiles of Albizia seed oils. Coronaric acid (9,10-epoxy-12(Z)-octadecenoic acid) is the major epoxy fatty acid at approximately 3-4% of the fatty acid profiles with minor amounts of vernolic (12,13-epoxy-9(Z)-octadecenoic acid) and 9,10-epoxystearic acids also detected. The results are compared to previous literature on the fatty acid profiles of other Albizia seed oils. The coronaric acid content of Albizia resembles that of Acacia species with both genera belonging to the Fabaceae family. The mass spectrum of the pyridylcarbinol (picolinyl) ester of coronaric acid is reported.
