Abstract

Gas liquid chromatography (GLC) were performed in the pulp and seeds from rippened jenipap fruits. Fatty acids present in the sample were evaluated by methylation in terms of qualitative and quantitative. The qualitative analysis of the fatty-acids were realized by comparisson of the retention time of the sample against the standard curve. The quantitative determination was based in the peak areas in the chromatogram. The result showed that palmitic and linoleic acids were present in the highest level.
