The seed oil from a local variety of Monodora myristica (family Annonaceae), a seasonal nut plant traditionally used as a local spice, has been isolated and the physical and chemical characteristics determined. Saponification yielded saturated and unsaturated fatty acids which were separated by preferential crystallization from solutions, primarily ethanol and hexane. Gas liquid chromatography (GLC) revealed large amounts of C-16 and C-18 fatty acids as well as traces of other fatty acids. Iodine values indicated that both ethanol and hexane extraction produced excellent yields of the fatty acids with hexane being more efficient as a crystallization solvent at a solvent to oil ratio of 3:1 at 50°C. |
