The composition of long chain esters in the apolar fraction of soyabean oil was studied. The alcoholic fraction of the esters was composed of phytol and geranylgeraniol while the acid fraction was mainly composed of palmitic, oleic, arachidic, behenic and lignoceric acid. The last two long chain fatty acids were predominant. Unusual acids, such as tricosanoic and einecosanoic acid were also present.
