The occurrence of tariric acid as the major fatty acid is typical for the Picramniaceae.
2.
Tariric acid is biosynthesised from petroselinic acid; both fatty acids have been found together in " Picramnia " and " Alvaradoa " species.
3.
The root also contains the fatty acids tariric acid and 10Z, 14E, 16E-octadeca-10, 14, 16-triene-12-ynoic acid.
4.
In chemical analysis, tariric acid can be separated from other fatty acids by gas chromatography of methyl esters; additionally, a separation of unsaturated fatty acids is possible by argentation thin-layer chromatography.
5.
Arnaud was the first scientist to describe the chemical make-up of tariric acid, an extraction from the glucoside of the " family Apocynaceae ), and in 1883 discovered a new alkaloid called cinchonamine.

L�on-Albert Arnaud ( 1853 1915 ) was the first scientist to describe the chemical make-up of tariric acid, an extraction from the glucoside of the " tariri plant " found in Guatemala.
