An original gas chromatography/mass spectrometry method for quantifying trace amounts of ricinoleic acid (12‐hydroxy‐ cis ‐9‐octadecenoic acid) is detailed. Data are presented on trace amounts of ricinoleic acid found in several common vegetable oils and oils extracted from common oil seeds: e.g., ca. 30 ppm in commercial olive oil was the lowest amount; and ca. 2,690 ppm in oil extracted from cottonseeds was the highest amount.
