Abstract

Raw samples of oleanolic and ursolic acids, a class of terpenoid acids mainly found in the leaf and fruit cuticles of some plant species, can be defined as a blend of clusters of different conformers aggregated in dimers and tetramers by means of hydrogen bonds and stabilized by non-electrostatic interactions.
