The bodied oils were fractionated into two fractions using urea and in four fractions, namely, monomer, dimer, polymer and „oxi” products by column chromatography. The oils show no nitration inspite of their contact with nitrate/nitrite salts at a temperature of 320° C. The analyses by GLC have shown that various components having different chain lengths e. g. 20.3, 22.1, 23.5, 25.9, 32.8, 35.6, 36.0, 36.6 etc. have been formed. These components consist of oxygenated and dimer fatty acids. The analyses by NMR spectroscopy have shown the presence of cyclohexene ring together with ether linkage in which the latter one predominates; IR spectroscopy also supports the same.
