Seed oils of Sida acuta and Sida rhombifolia were found to contain sterculic (11.0, 10.8%) and malvalic (1.7, 2.0%) acids respectively, in addition to the normal fatty acids. Co‐occurrence of these acids was established by gas liquid chromatography of the silver nitrate‐methanol‐treated methyl esters using Sterculia foetida esters as a reference standard. This gas liquid chromatography technique of quantitation was found most suitable to estimate these acids in low level cyclopropenoid acid‐containing seed oils.
