The kernels of karaka seeds (Corynocapus laevigatus) contained 9.6% oil by wt. The lipid constituents were characterized by silicic acid column chromatography and thin layer chromatography, and their individual fatty acid compositions by gas liquid chromatography. Of the seed oil, triacylglycerol was the major component which contained high proportions of linoleic (45%) and oleic (26%) acids. The major component of husk oil (0.9% of husk by wt) was polar lipid (glycolipids and pigments).
