Abstract
The study of the lipid content of two varieties of Avocado pear (Fuerte andDeuke), cultivated in Egypt, revealed marked increase during fruit growth and development. The saturated and unsaturated fatty acids of the lipids were determined by gas-liquid chromatography; the results obtained showed that the total unsaturated fatty acids (particularly oleic acid) increased during fruit growth and reached its maximum at the maturity stage in both varieties i.e. after 32 and 16 weeks for Fuerte and Deuke respectively.
