TL;DR: The availability of a concentrated source of sterculic acid in the form of Sterculia foetida oil made it possible to study the effect of this pink discoloration phenomena of stored eggs.

TL;DR: In the case of palash and papaya phospholipids, the profile of fatty acid distribution was similar to that of their respective oils, but the unusual fatty acids present predominantly in jangli badam, coriander and carrot oils were found to be significantly reduced in the respective phospholips.
Abstract: Analyses of the phospholipids of palash(Butea monosperma), papaya(Carica papaya), jangli badam(Sterculia foetida), coriander(Coriandrum sativum) and carrot(Daucus carota) seeds are reported in the present study. Phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylinositol were identified as major components in all the seeds. Small amounts of lysophosphatidylcholine in palash and papaya, and cardiolipin in palash, papaya and carrot also were detected. The predominant fatty acids present in the total and individual phospholipids of the seeds examined were oleic, linoleic and palmitic. In the case of palash and papaya phospholipids, the profile of fatty acid distribution was similar to that of their respective oils. However, the unusual fatty acids present predominantly in jangli badam, coriander and carrot oils were found to be significantly reduced in the respective phospholipids.

TL;DR: The structure of sterculic acid, the major component of the kernel oil of Sterculia foetida, has attracted the attention of various workers, such as Nunn et al. as mentioned in this paper, who concluded from the constants of the oil and the mixed methyl esters and some degradative experiments that it was 12-methyl octadeca-9: 11-dienoic acid.
Abstract: THE structure of sterculic acid, the major component of the kernel oil of Sterculia foetida, has attracted the attention of various workers. Hilditch et al.
1 failed to isolate the acid but concluded from the constants of the oil and the mixed methyl esters and some degradative experiments that it was 12-methyl octadeca-9: 11-dienoic acid. Steger and Van Loon2, working on the mixed fatty acids, deduced that it was probably a hydroxy acid, C18H34O3. However, recently Nunn3 has isolated this acid, C19H34O2, by the method of urea complexes and suggested its structure as ω -(2n-octylcycloprop-1-enyl)-octanoic acid (I).
