Oil and fatty profile on the film from the Pistacia Region of Collo

doi:10.18231/2320-1924.2018.0005

Abstract

The objective of this study is the determination of the analytical parameters and the fatty acid composition of the film from pistacia lentiscus, the extraction was carried out by soxhlet using an apolar solvent which is hexane, the chemical composition of fatty acids was performed by chromatography alone and coupled to mass spectroscopy (CGC, GC/MS) this study identified 7 constituents representing 86.81% the compounds the major compounds are palmitic acid 28.15%, oleic 26.56% and linoleic 24.57%. Keyword: Pistacia, Extraction, oil, Fatty acids, CG/MS.

Highlights

The lentiscus pistachio is a shrub ofsize ranging from 2m to 6m which spreads throughout the Algerian land with a high density in the forest areas and in the fresh countryside and belongs to the family of anacardiaceae.[1]
We were interested in this work which consists of an extraction, isolation and identification by chromatography coupled to mass spectroscopy
Extraction of the oil : The fruit is dried in an oven at 80 ° C for 10H the oil obtained after 16H extraction with hexane in a continuous extractor sohxlet after removal of the solvent by evaporation in vacuo, recovers oil qi is yellow and a very strong scented odor and solidifies at room temperature

Summary

Introduction

The lentiscus pistachio is a shrub ofsize ranging from 2m to 6m which spreads throughout the Algerian land with a high density in the forest areas and in the fresh countryside and belongs to the family of anacardiaceae.[1] Its fruits have a spherical flattened shape of small dwarf at the beginning its color is green turns to the black color, this fruit is covered by a soft zest comes a hard layer containing a pulp of good taste and an embalmed odor (IRN BITAR). In the literature several works have been done on the oil extracted from the mesocarp and epicarp mixture of the wall fruit proving that it contains saturated and unsaturated fatty acids.[2,3]. We were interested in this work which consists of an extraction, isolation and identification by chromatography coupled to mass spectroscopy
