Abstract: | The unsaponifiable lipid constituents, hydrocarbons, triterpene alcohols and sterols of ten seed oils (Catharanthus roseus, Nymphaea nelumbo, Casuari-na equisetifolia, Lagerstroemia therolli, Prosopisjuliflora, Mimusops elengi, Mimusops hexandra, Ponga-miapinnata, Acrocarpus fraxinifolius, and Bauhinia retusa) were investigated by gas liquid chromatography. Total unsaponifiables ran from 4–14%. Some of the seed oils contained large quantities of jβ-amyrin, α-amyrin and cycloartenol. Acrocarpus fraxinifolius was found to contain 84% of lupeol. Stigmasterol (24-ethyl-22ε-dehydrocholesterol), β-sitosterol (24-ethyl-cholesterol) and campesterol (24-methyl-cholesterol) were the common constituents in all the seed oils. Besides these constituents, tirucallol, taraxerol, ψ-taraxasterol, fucosterol, isofucosterol, avenasterol and cholesterol also were detected in small quantities. |
