Lipid composition of coconut cake oil.

Lipid classes and fatty acids were analyzed in expeller and rotary extracted coconut oils and corresponding solvent extracted cake oils. Triacylglycerols (84.0 to 93.1%); 1,2 diacylglycerols (1.5 to 5.1%); 1,3 diacylglycerols (1.2 to 2.1%); monoacylglycerols (1.0 to 7.0%); free fatty acids (1.0 to 2.6%); phospholipids (0.03 to 0.4%) and glycolipids (0.2 to 0.35%) were present in these oils. Fatty acid composition of triacylglycerols, phospholipids and glycolipids resembled each other and differed from those of 1,2 and 1,3 diacylglycerols which in turn were similar. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
