Exploring Phylogenetic Relationships between Hundreds of Plant Fatty Acids Synthesized by Thousands of Plants. more details ...
Abstract The fatty acids were extracted from Annona seeds and analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry(GC-MS).Methods: Annona seeds oil was extracted from by Soxhlet and the methyl ester product was analyzed by GC-MS technology.Results: the yield of Annona seeds oil was(24.17±1.08)%.The Annona seeds oil contains 16 types of fatty acids and the main fatty acids include oleic acid(42.91%),linoleic acid(38.53%),2,6,10,14-tetramethyl pentadecanoic acid(15.43%),octadecadienoic acid(1.33%),arachidonic acid(1.27%) and heptadecanoic acid(0.52%).Unsaturated fatty acid content was up to 82.77%.Peroxide value of 1.32 was lower than that of the edible vegetable oil provided by food safety standards.Conclusion: High nutritional value of Annona seeds oil can be ascribed to rich content of unsaturated fatty acids and low peroxide value.
