Glyceride structure of fats. 11. Structure studies on selected nut fats using lipases

Using pancreatic lipase of Geotrichum candidum, the authors determined the fatty acid pattern and the glyceride structure of peanut, filbert, walnut, Brazil nut and cashew-nut fats. Both the fatty acid pattern and the glyceride structure were comparable to those of other vegetable fats of corresponding total fatty acid composition.
