Tariric acid is an acetylenic fatty acid that can be found in the tallow-wood tree, Ximenia americana. [1]
Léon-Albert Arnaud (1853–1915) was the first scientist to describe the chemical make-up of tariric acid, an extraction from the glucoside of the " tariri plant" found in Guatemala. [2]
Tariric acid has been found in several oils and fats of plant origin. It was first isolated in 1892 from the seed oil of a species of Picramnia. [3] It appears in Picramnia camboita from Brazil, [4] Picramnia carpinterae from Guatemala, [5] and Picramnia lindeniana from Mexico. [6]
Tariric acid also occurs in the herb Marrubium vulgare (White horehound), where it is conjectured to have an anti-fungal role. It was found to stimulate lipid accumulation by adipocytes in vitro. [7]
Tariric acid is biosynthesised from petroselinic acid; both fatty acids have been found together in Picramnia and Alvaradoa species. [8] [9] The occurrence of tariric acid as the major fatty acid is typical for the Picramniaceae. [10]
Tariric acid can be synthesised from commercially available petroselinic acid. [11]
In chemical analysis, tariric acid can be separated from other fatty acids by gas chromatography of methyl esters; additionally, a separation of unsaturated fatty acids is possible by argentation thin-layer chromatography. [12]
