Lipid Composition and Antimicrobial Activity of Raw, Boiled and Fermented Seed Extracts of Pentaclethra macrophylla (BENTH)

Lipids possess versatile biological properties in human health and nutrition. The compositions of lipids were investigated on the raw, boiled and fermented seeds of Pentaclethra macrophylla n-hexane extracts. The seed extracts were esterified, and chemical composition of the fatty acids was evaluated using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Subsequent chromatographic purification and isolation on the lipids was carried out using...
