Abstract
Abstract Seed oils of Cassia hirsuta and C. tora L., two Caesalpiniaceae belonging to the Leguminoseae family, contain small amounts of malvalic and sterculic acids. Sterol composition was determined by capillary GLC and GC/MS; 15 sterols were identified. In addition to the usual δ‐5 sterols, high levels of δ‐7 sterols and small amounts of saturated sterols were found.
