连翘属木樨科植物,是山区野生的落叶灌木。常用的中药“银翘解毒丸”中主要就是连翘的果壳。其种子以往多是作为废物被弃掉。在党的“自力更生”方针指引下,我所植物资源组的同志,深入秦岭等山区进行调查研究,发现连翘籽含油量达33%。其中亚油酸占52%,油酸占30.8%,饱和脂肪酸占17.2%。在饱和脂肪酸中主要有软脂酸,硬脂酸等脂肪酸成分。经西安绝缘材料厂试验,用连翘油制作的绝缘漆,和绝缘浸渍漆完全符合1030和1032绝缘浸渍的技术指标,是工业上的一种很有利用价值的野生油源。此外,连翘籽中还含有约4%的挥发油和相当量的胶质,对其成分 Forsythia is a division of plants, is a mountainous deciduous shrubs. Commonly used traditional Chinese medicine “Yinqiao detoxification pill” is mainly forsythia shell. In the past, most of its seeds were discarded as waste. Guided by the principle of “self-reliance” by the party, comrades from our plant resources group conducted in-depth investigations in the mountainous areas of Qinling Mountains and found that the oil content of Forsythia suspensa seeds reached 33%. Among them, linoleic acid accounts for 52%, oleic acid accounts for 30.8% and saturated fatty acid accounts for 17.2%. In saturated fatty acids are palmitic acid, stearic acid and other fatty acids. The test by Xi’an Insulation Material Factory, the insulating paint made of forsythia oil and the insulating and impregnating paint are in full compliance with the technical indexes of 1030 and 1032 insulating and impregnating, and are a kind of valuable wild oil source in industry. In addition, forsythia seeds also contain about 4% of the volatile oil and a considerable amount of gum, its composition
