Palmae fatty acids

Castor oil is also known as riciaus oil, oil of Palma Christi, tangantangan oil, and neoloid. Typical of vegetable oils and most fats, castor oil is a triglyceride of various fatty acids (see Fats and fatty acids.) Its uniqueness stems from the very high (87—90 wt %) content of riciaoleic acid, stmcturaHy... 

Coconut Oil (Unhydrogenated) occurs as a viscous, white to light yellow-tan liquid. It is obtained from the kernel of the fruit of the coconut palm Cocos nucifera (Fam. Palmae). The crude oil obtained by mechanically pressing dried coconut meat (copra) is refined, bleached, and deodorized to substantially remove free fatty acids, phospholipids, color, odor and flavor components, and other non-oil materials. Compared with many natural fats, Coconut Oil (Unhydrogenated) has an abrupt melting range, changing from a rather firm, plastic solid at about 21° or below to a liquid at about 21°.

In a companion study, M. Palma et al. studied the extraction of grape seeds with pure SF CO2 and analyzed the derivatized extracts by GC-MS. These extracts were found to contain volatiles such as aliphatic aldehydes in addition to fatty acids and sterols. Even though we used similar conditions for our SF extraction and GC-MS analysis, we were unable to detect any similar volatile compounds. To further investigate the presence of volatiles in the cranberry seed extract, we adapted a solid phase microextraction (SPME) method from the work of Jelen et al. who had earlier developed it for the characterization of volatile compounds in different vegetable oils. SPME followed by gas chromatog[raphy was performed on the headspace of the cranberry seed extract to test for the presence of volatile compounds. The GC trace failed to show the elution of any components for either the SF or Soxhlet extract.

In the triglyceride, the carbon chains represented by RS R and R may be identical but usually they are not. Saturated and unsaturated fatty acids are found in the triglycerides. The saturated acids [CH3(CH2)n COOH] all contain an even number of carbon atoms, n usually being between 4 and 24. Palmitic acid (n = 14) is the most common saturated fatty acid of seed oils some others are caproic (n = 4), caprylic (n = 6) capric (n = 8) lauric (n=10) and myristic acid (n=12) all of which occur in the Palmae, and arachidic (n= 18), behenic (n = 20) and lignoceric acid (n = 22), present in some leguminous seeds. The predominant fatty acids are, however, the unsaturated ones and two of these —oleic and linoleic—are estimated to account for over 60% by weight of all the oils in oil-seed crops. With only a few exceptions, the unsaturated... 

Palmae, Arecaceae G. Olpatme F. palmier a huile O. is a tree of the palm family and produces palm oil (PO) from its fruit pulp (mesocarp) and palm kernel (PKO) oil from its seeds (endosperm). PKO is an alternative to coconut oil as a source of - lauric oils (- fats and oils). O. originated from tropical Africa and was spread via South and Central America to S.E. Asia, Hiere Malaysia and Indonesia lead the world production (comp, table). Unlike the - coconut, o. will flower after only 3-5 years and produce its fhiits in bunches, containing about 1000 to 4000 egg-shaped fruits, each 3-5 cm in length. A fruit bunch weights about 15-25 kg. The bimches will have to be cut with sickles and transported within 24 h (otherwise, lipase - enzymes will produce considerable amounts of free fatty acids) to the oil mill where, after a sterilization process, the pulp will be separated from the palm kernels, and the ->palm oil will be pressed from the pulp. Kernels will be cracked and shipped to an oil mill, where - palm kernel oil and palm...
