Abstract

In the present study the fatty acids from leaves of Schinus terebinthifolius Raddi were analyzed using GC. The total concentrations of fatty acids presented in leaves were 0.551%. The total amount found in 100 g of sample of leaves was 1.403 g/100g. The fatty acids constituents found in leaves were; methyl ester of heptadecenoic acid (C17:1) 22.56%, methyl ester of stearic acid (C18:0) 11.47%, methyl ester of oleic acid (C18:1) 11.18%, methyl ester of pentadecanoic acid (C15:0) 5.65%, methyl ester of hexadecenoic acid (C16:1) 5.28%, methyl ester of archidic acid (C20:0) 7.57%, methyl ester of tetradecenoic acid (C14:1) 6.71%, methyl ester of myristic acid (C14:0) 5.21%, methyl ester of tridecanoic acid (C13:0) 4.69%, methyl ester of palmitic acid (C16:0) 4.06%, methyl ester of 14-pentadecenooic acid (C15:1) 4.91%, methyl ester of caprylic acid (C8:0) 1.72%, methyl ester of lauric acid (C12:0) 1.96%, methyl ester of heneicosanoic acid (C21:0) 1.97%, methyl ester of erucic acid (C22:1, cis-13) 2.32%, Methyl ester of linoleic acid (C18:2, cis-9,12) 1.27%, methyl ester of margarinic acid (C17:0) 0.44%, methyl ester of capric acid (C10:0) 0.18%, and methyl ester of docosadienoic acid (C22:2) 0.17%.
