Comparison of nutrient composition in kernel of tenera and clonal materials of oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.)

► Chemical composition of tenera and clonal palm kernels are very similar. ► Palm kernels are rich in disaccharides, acidic amino acid, and saturated fatty acids. ► Palm kernels are good source of potassium. ► Niacin is the dominant water-soluble vitamin in palm kernels. ► Biological replicates reveal clonal material is more uniform than tenera.
