Determination of lipid composition of the two principal cherimoya cultivars grown in Andalusian Region

Different fatty acids were identified in pulp, seed, and skin. The major fatty acids were palmitic, oleic, linoleic, and α-linolenic. On the other hand, α-tocopherol was identified in seeds and peel. Moreover, three different phospholipids were identified. Finally, β-sitosterol was the principle sterol in all samples and, to our knowledge, γ-sitosterol was identified only in pulp and peel of cherimoya for the first time.
