In this study, the chemical composition of the oil extracted with petroleum ether from purpleblow maple (Acer truncatum) seeds was examined. It was found that the dried seed contained 46.6 percent oil, in which linoleic acid (33.9%), oleic acid (23.8%), and erucic acid (17.2%) were the major fatty acids. More importantly, the oil contained noticeable amounts of nervonic acid (NA) (5.8%) and vitamin E (125.23 mg/100 g), which is the most biologically active isomer, Therefore, the seed oil may be considered as a potential new source for natural NA and vitamin E. In addition, research on the application of the oil in the food, cosmetics, and medical industries was summarized.
