Lipid composition of Calophyllum inophyllum kernel.

Total kernel lipids extracted from Calophyllum inophyllum,
Guttifereae amounted to 60.1% of the dry kernel.
The total lipids consisted of 92.0% of neutral lipids,
6.4% glycolipids and 1.6% phospholipids. Neutral
lipids consisted of triaeylglycerols (82.3%), free fatty
acids (7.4%) and small amounts of diaeylglycerols,
monoacylglycerols and sterols. At least four glycolipids
and five phospholipids were identified.
Acylmonogalactosyldiacylglycerol and monogalactosylmonoacylglycerol
were major glycolipids; while monogalactosyldiacylglycerol
and an acylated sterolglucoside
were present in small amounts. The
phospholipids consisted of phosphatidylethanolamine
and phosphatidylchofine as major phospholipids, and
minor amounts of phosphatidic acid, phosphatidylserine
and lysophosphatidylcholine. The fatty acid composition
of these different neutral lipids, glycolipids
and phospholipids was determined.
