This study was undertaken to determine and relate the lipid content and fatty acid composition of four different durian ( Durio zibethinus , Murr.) clones, i.e., D 24 , D 2 , D 66 and D 8 , with their respective organoleptic scores. Both lipid content and the fatty acid composition were found to vary among these clones. Clones D 24 and D 2 , which contained a higher proportion of lipids but lower unsaturated fatty acid contents, received high organoleptic scores when compared to clones D 66 and D 8 . It was found that the lower the palmitic: palmitoleic acid ratio in the lipid of a durian clone, the higher its organoleptic quality.
