The synthesis of fatty acids in avocado mesocarp and cauliflower bud tissue [PDF]

Biochemical Journal, 1975
1. Plastid and mitochondrial preparations were obtained by density-gradient centrifugation of homogenates made by gentle disintergration of avocado fruit mesocarp and cauliflower bud tissue. 2. The mitochondrial preparations had respiratory activity but did not incorporate [1-14C]acetate into fatty acids. 3. The plastid preparations incorporated [1-14C]

Cis‐Vaccenic Acid as a Compositional Marker for Detecting High‐Oleic Seed Oil Adulteration in Avocado Oil

Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, Volume 103, Issue 10, Page 1259-1266, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The rapid expansion of the global avocado oil market has intensified concerns about economic adulteration with lower‐cost, high‐oleic seed oils that resemble the fatty acid specifications of avocado oil. Cis‐vaccenic acid C18:1 (n−7) occurs at higher proportions in avocado oil than in common seed oil adulterants, making it a promising ...

Valorization of Pistacia vera By‐Products: Monthly Variation of Bioactive Compounds and Biological Activities

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 10, October 2026.
Pistacia vera leaves and hulls, generally discarded as processing waste, are profiled monthly for phenolic, flavonoid, fatty acid, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties. Phenolic content, flavonoid content, and antioxidant activity peak in spring, while polyunsaturated fatty acids predominate in both tissues.

Comparative Lipidomics and Proteomics of Lipid Droplets in the Mesocarp and Seed Tissues of Chinese Tallow (Triadica sebifera)

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017
Lipid droplets (LDs) are composed of a monolayer of phospholipids (PLs), surrounding a core of non-polar lipids that consist mostly of triacylglycerols (TAGs) and to a lesser extent diacylglycerols.

Unusual vitamin E profile in the oil of a wild African oil palm tree (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) enhances oxidative stability of provitamin A

Frontiers in Plant Science
IntroductionThe African oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) is the predominant oil crop in the world. In addition to triacylglycerols, crude palm oil (CPO) extracted from the mesocarp of the fruits, contains high amounts of provitamin A (carotenes) and ...
