(a) Triglycerides found in CO (FA1, FA2 and FA3 represent FAs attached to the glycerol, when FA1 = R, FA2 = R, FA3 = R, i.e. triricinolein (RRR), diricinoleoystearoylglycerol (FA1 = FA2 = R, FA3 = S, i.e. RRS), diricino-leoyloleoylglycerol (FA1 = FA2 = R, FA3 = O, i.e. RRO), diricinoleoyllinoleoylglycerol (FA1 = FA2 = R, FA3 = L, i.e. RRL) and diricinoleoylpalmitoyl-glycerol (FA1 = FA2 = R, FA3 = P, i.e. RRP) and (b) estolide formation between a triglyceride molecule and a free FA (source: Isbell [48]).
