Ximenynic acid is trans-11-octadecen-9-ynoic acid, [1] a long-chain acetylenic fatty acid. [1]
It was discovered in the fruit kernels of three species of South American plants in the genus Ximenia, after which it is named. [2] and found to have the formula C18H30O2. [2]
It can be extracted from the fruit kernels of the Santalum obtusifolium (Sandalwood) [3] and the Australian sandalwood Santalum spicatum [1]
It is also found in seed oil of other plants in the Santalaceae family, including the native cherry Exocarpos cupressiformis and sweet quandong Santalum acuminatum. [4]
Species | % of kernel oil | Notes |
---|---|---|
S. spicatum | 34 | [1] |
S. obtusifolium | 71.5 | [3] |
S. acuminatum | ? |
It was the subject of a 2003 European patent (for use in food). [5] The patent application was deemed withdrawn in August 2012. [6]
It is used in some skincare products. [7][ better source needed]
