Seed lipids of Western Australian sandalwood ( Santalum spicatum ) were separated using preparative thin‐layer chromatography. The oil contains about 49% oleic acid and about 40% ximenynic acid. The individual triacylglycerol bands were characterized by high‐performance liquid chromatography and gas chromatography. The oil consisted of three major triglycerides: triximenynoyl‐glycerol (triximenynin), an oleoyl‐diximenynoyl‐glycerol, and a dioleoylximenynoyl‐glycerol, as demonstrated by gas chromatography with mass selective detection.
