Glyceride composition of the seed fat of Momordica charantia has been determined by gas liquid chromatography (GLC) of oxidized esterifield glycerides. Stearodiunsaturated glycerides form ca. 80% of the total glycerides. Values obtained by the above method agree closely with those obtained by Youngs' (8) method. However, there is a wide variation between the present results and those calculated according to Vander‐Wal (5) from lipase hydrolysis data. Possible reasons for this anomalous glyceride pattern are discussed.
