The trans ‐3‐enoic acids of Aster alpinus (dwarf aster, rock aster) and Arctium minus (burdock) seed oils have been isolated and characterized. Arctium seed oil contains trans ‐3, cis ‐9, cis ‐12‐octadecatrienoic acid (9.9%), and Aster oil contains trans ‐3‐hexadecenoic (7.1%), rans ‐3‐octadecenoic (1.9%), trans ‐3, cis ‐9‐octadecadienoic (3.0%),a nd trans ‐3, cis ‐9, cis ‐12‐octadecatrienoic (13.7%) acids. Aster oil also has an epoxy acid as a minor constituent (ca. 2.0%), which has been identified as cis ‐9,10‐epoxy‐ cis ‐12‐octadecenoic acid.
