Abstract

The air dried seeds ofAnnona squamosa contain moisture 10.0%, oil 23.0% minerals 1.89% and proteins 24.05%.
The fatty acid composition of light yellow coloured oil is C16:0 (13.51 %), C18.0 (10.40%), C18.1 (46.96%), CI 8:2
(25.89%), C I8:3 (1.39%) and an unknown acid 1.95% .The unsaponifiable is determined as sterols (25.1 %), alcohols
(54.1 %) and hydrocarbons (20.8%). The hydrocarbons (C11-C31) and alcohols (C16-C18) have been separated,
identified ad characterized by the application of thin layer and gas liquid chromatography.
