Abstract

AbstractThe glyceride structure of a specimen ofCinnamomum camphora seed fat has been studied using oxidation procedure for determining the trisaturated and the gravime tric azelaogly ceride analysis technique for determining di‐ and monosaturated glycerides. The fat contains 93% saturated acids and the molecular proportions of tri‐, di‐ and monosaturated and triunsaturated glycerides are found to be 80,17,1 and 2% respectively. The pattern of acyl group distribution is in close agreement with the requirements of Random Distribution, Glyceride Type Distribution Rule, Widest Distribution and the three theories of Gunstone. There is no restriction in synthesis of fully saturated glycerides. The mean position of first double bond in fatty acids suggests the presence of positional isomers.
