| dc.description.abstract | A simple scheme for extraction of nutmeg fat from nutmeg Myristica fragrans L is described. The variation in this fat was 24-30% in the accessions evaluated. Thin layer chro-matography of saturated lipids in the fat indicated the presence of mono, di and tripalmitins. The triglyceride content varied from 86.2 to 97.4% within the accessions and may serve as a useful quality index in nutmeg. The other triacylglycerols are found to be absent. The glyco, neutral and phosphollpids were found to be 33, 28 and 10% respectively. Large variation is observed in the case of fatty acid profile. The suitability of this fat in perfumery and confectionary is described. | en_US |
