PNAS 1999, 96, 12935). POLYMETHYLENE-INTERRUPTED POLYENES Among the unsaturated polymethylene-interrupted fatty acids (also known as nonmethylene-interrupted fatty acids) those with a cis-5 ethylenic bond are found in various sources in the plant kingdom but may now be considered characteristic components of Gymnosperm seed oils omega 3 fat (Wolff RL et al., omega 3 fat J Lipid Res 1996, 73, 765). In the genus Pinus as well as the whole family Pinaceae, the same 5-unsaturated polymethylene-interrupted fatty acids are found (review : Wolff RL et al., Lipids 2000, 35, 1). The three most frequent fatty acids with that structure are taxoleic acid (all-cis-5,9-18:2), pinolenic acid (all-cis-5,9,12-18:3) which is found in seeds of conifers (Taxaceae), Teucrium and also in tall oil (by-product in pine wood processing), and sciadonic acid (all-cis-5,11,14-20:3).
