The characteristics of seed oils from Tamarind, Persimmon, Himebishi, Himeyashabushi and Lotus were investigated. Each oil was obtained by extraction of the dried seeds with ether, followed by treating with n-hexane.
The characteristics of seed oils (Table-1) and fatty acid compositions by GLC (Table-2) were investigated.
In order to examine the glyceride compositions in seed oils, the purified triglycerides obtained by TLC were hydrolized in to β-monoglyceride by the action of pancreatic lipase. The β-monoglyceride separated by TLC was esterified into methyl ester with 0.2 N-sodium methoxide solu. to examine the composition of fatty acids in 2-position of triglyceride by GLC (Table-3).
Triglyceride compositions in seed oils were also calculated (Table-4).
