Notes:
Lipids from the nutmeats of six pecan cultivars (Carya illinoensis Wang) were identified and quantitated by thin-layer chromatography and gas-liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Six classes of lipids were separated and identified as complex lipids, monoglycerides, α,β-diglycerides, α,α′-diglycerides, sterols and triglycerides Triglycerides were predominant with mean concentration for the six cultivars equal to 71.25 g/100g of nutmeat. Means of other classes were 〈1 g/100 g of nutmeat. Ten fatty acids were isolated, esterified and identified as hexa-decanoic, hexadecenoic, heptadecanoic, heptadecenoic, octadecanoic, octadecenoic, octadecadienoic, octadecatrienoic, eicosanoic, and eicosenoic acids. Among these, unsaturated acids were predominant with mean concentration equal to-63.19 g/100g of nutmeat. Mean concentration for the saturated acids was 6.31 g/100g of nutmeat.
