The component triacylglycerols of six seed oils of the Malvaceae family— Gossypium barbadense (Egyptian cotton), Hibiscus cannabinus (kenaf), Hibiscus sabdarifa (roselle), two varieties of Hibiscus esculentas (okra) and Althea rosea (ketmia, hollyhock or Egyptian hemp)—have been determined by using the lipase hydrolysis technique. The oils were found to contain triacylglycerols belonging to trisaturated (1.0–2.1), disaturated‐monounsaturated (12.3–20.9), monosaturated‐diunsaturated (42.3–46.6) and triunsaturated (30.1–44.2) types of triacylglycerols.
