Exploring Phylogenetic Relationships between Hundreds of Plant Fatty Acids Synthesized by Thousands of Plants. more details ...
Abstract Aleurites montana oil was extracted using three different solvents of chloroform,petroleum ether,and hexane-isopropanol(3 ∶2,v/v)The results showed chloroform was the most efficient solvent.The effects of extraction time and solvent volume on the seed oil yield were studied.The maximum oil yield(37%) was achieved with a ratio 12 ∶1(v/w) of chloroform to seed kernel for 6 h extraction time.After transesterification of the seed oil,its major fatty acid composition was analyzed by GC-MS.The total fatty acids content was up to 90.55%,including 3.87% palmitic acid,4.11% stearic acid,12.15% linoleic acid,13.31% oleic acid,12.09% linolenic acid,51.20% conjugated linolenic acid,and 3.30% EPA(eicosapentaenoic acid).Aleurites montana oil was an excellent drying oil that is rich in unsaturated fatty acids.
