Pandanus conoideus fruit contained 19.4% by dry weight of red fat. Major fatty acids contained in the fat were oleic (67.6% of the total fatty acids), palmitic (18.7%) and linoleic (7.6%) acids. The fat had an unusually high level of free fatty acid (90.0%) which may have resulted from the action of fat splitting enzymes.
