Abstract: (5496 Views)
Different layers of acorn (Quercus infectoria), hull, seed coat and seed kernel were analyzed
for determination of chemical composition. The results of the preliminary analysis
showed that acorn contained more than 65% carbohydrates, 8% lipid and 10% tannin
among other constituents. The fatty acid composition of the seed oil was determined using
thin layer chromatography and comparing with standards. The results showed the presence
of both saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. Saturated fatty acid: are C14:0, C16:0,
C18:0, and C20:0. Unsaturated fatty acid: C18: 1 and C18: 2. Total saturated fatty acids
represented 20% and unsaturated fatty acids contributed 80% to acorn fat content.
