Fatty acid profile of fresh and dried banana (Musa sapientum L. var. cavendishii Lamb.) peel oils

Musa sapientum var. cavendishii'nin (Musaceae) kurutulmuş ve taze meyveli kabuklarından elde edilen sabit yağların yağ asiti kompozisyonları kapiller GC-MS ile incelendi. Yağların her ikisinin de, minör miktarlarda kaprilik, kaprik, laurik, miristik, stearik ve araşidik asitlerin yanı sıra, majör doymuş yağ asidi olarak palmitik asit ile başlıca doymamış bileşenler olarak insan sağlığı için anahtar yağ asitleri olan linoleik ve linolenik asitleri içerdiği bulundu.

Taze ve kurutulmuş muz (Musa sapientum L. var. cavendishii Lamb.) kabuk yağlarının yağ asiti profili

Fatty acid compositions of the fixed oils obtained from the dried and fresh fruit peels of Musa sapientum var. cavendishii (Musacaceae) were examined by capilları GC-MS. Both of the oils were found to contain palmitic acid as the major saturated fatty acid along with linoleic and linolenic acids as the main unsaturated components, which are key fatty acids for human heatlh, as well as the other saturated fatty acids, namely caprylic, capric, lauric, myristic, stearic, and arachidic acids in minor amounts.
