| description | Okra (Hibiscus esculentus, L.) fruits are consumed as vegetable throughout the world. The fatty
acid composition of the fruits harvested on the 5th, 6th, 8th and 12th day after flowering was determined by
gas liquid chromatography. As the fruits matured, C16:0 fatty acid content increased with a corresponding
sharp decrease in C18:3 fatty acid concentration. The lipids in immature fruits contained C24:0 fatty acid,
whereas the oil recovered from fully matured seeds had C21 :5 fatty acid instead. Cyclopropene fatty acids
were not detected in the lipids of immature fruits, occurring only in small amounts in the oil of fully matured
seeds. |
