| Abstract: | The Fatty Acid Analysis was carried out on the seeds of Gold Mohur (Delonix
Regia) and aidan (Tetrapleura tetraptera) to determine their fatty acid
composition, the result shows that the two seeds contain both saturated and
unsaturated fatty acids in different proportions. The result shows that the Gold
Mohur (Delonix regia) is predominated by unsaturated fatty acids with total
unsaturated fatty acid composition of 63.88% and the saturated fatty acid
composition of 36.12% while the aidan fruit seed (Tetrapleura tetraptera) was
predominated by the saturated fatty acid with total saturated fatty acid composition
of 53.12% and the unsaturated fatty acid composition of 46.90% respectively |
