Abstract: The determination of physic-chemical properties of the Trichosanther kirilowii seed oil was studied. By means of spectral analysis of UV, IR, the specific fatty acid in the Trichosanther kirilowii seed oil-trichosanic acid was preliminarily analyzed. The Trichosanther kirilowii seed oil was derited with heterocycliczation method and then analyzed with GC-MS. The structure of trichosanic acid is identified as C18:3 9c,11t,13c and the content is 16.15%.

Key words: Trichosanther kirilowii, trichosanic acid, heterocycliczation
