Abstract Malva sylvestris seed oil contained 5.6% sterculic, 11.0% malvalic, 1.6% vernolic, 15.6% lauric, 6.6% myristic, 26.6% palmitic, 5.6% palmitoleic, a trace of stearic, 23.0% oleic and 4.0% linoleic acids. The co‐occurrence of malvalic and sterculic acids was established by gas liquid chromatography (GLC) of the silver nitrate‐methanol treated esters using Sterculia foetida esters as the reference standard. Co‐occurrence of epoxy acid (vernolic acid) was confirmed with Vernonia anthelmintica as the lipid standard.
