Abstract
The chemical, amino acid and fatty acid compositions of Sterculia urens seeds are reported. The cotyledons
were found to be rich in protein (30.88%) and lipids (39.2%). The major amino acids in defatted
Sterculia urens cotyledon flour (DSCF) were determined as glutamic acid, arginine and aspartic acid.
Cysteine, methionine, tyrosine and histidine were observed in minor quantities. The ratio of essential to
non-essential amino acids was observed to be 0.45. Among the essential amino acids, isoleucine was
found to be higher than the reported FAO/WHO requirements. The GC-FID and GCeMS analysis revealed
that the major fatty acids of the total lipid were stearic acid (31.72%), linoleic acid (28.83%) and palmitic
acid (26.79%). Eicosadienoic acid (4.98%) and eicosatrienoic acid (2.96%) were also found in the total lipid.
