Description Total kernel lipids extracted from Calophyllum inophyllum, Guttifereae amounted to 60.1% of the dry kernel. The total lipids consisted of 92.0% of neutral lipids, 6.4% glycolipids and 1.6% phospholipids. Neutral lipids consisted of triaeylglycerols (82.3%), free fatty acids (7.4%) and small amounts of diaeylglycerols, monoacylglycerols and sterols. At least four glycolipids and five phospholipids were identified. Acylmonogalactosyldiacylglycerol and monogalactosylmonoacylglycerol were major glycolipids; while monogalactosyldiacylglycerol and an acylated sterolglucoside were present in small amounts. The phospholipids consisted of phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylchofine as major phospholipids, and minor amounts of phosphatidic acid, phosphatidylserine and lysophosphatidylcholine. The fatty acid composition of these different neutral lipids, glycolipids and phospholipids was determined.
