Abstract
It has been shown by the methods of IR and1H and13C NMR spectroscopy and also by spectrometry that ether extracts a fat from the kernels of the fruit stones ofAnisophyllea laurina (familyRhizophoraceae, Guinea). The amount of fat is about 16% of the weight of the kernels. The acid composition of the fat has been studied by gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. It contains the following acids (%): myristic (traces), palmitoleic (26.1), palmitic (54.4), linoleic (5.5), oleic (10.1), vaccenic (3.1), and stearic (0.8).
