The lipid contents and fatty acid compositions of freshly ripened and weathered Chinese tallow fruits were examined. After weathering for a year, the shell lipids, including all unsaturated fatty acids, and the seed lipids, including some polyunsaturated fatty acids, decreased by 33% and 7%, respectively. Rainfall during growth affected fruit yield but not lipid contents.
