Determination of New Isomer of Palmitoleic Acid in Mucuna Pruriens Seed Oil

Abstract

Palmitoliec acid is an unsaturated fatty acid and it is very important in different essential enoic acid. Most of which are not synthesized by the body and are to be supplied through edibles. By the formation of DMOX derivative of FAME, allows the determination of deposition of the double bond in fatty acid carbon chain.This work is also important to quick and reproducible methods used to screen the utility of non conventional sources of oil for edible and industrial purposes.

For the present investigation, non conventional source mucuna puriens (pepilionaceae) seed is used. Seeds have been reported to cure diarrhea and Parkinson’s disease. It is a natural source of L-dopa.

Keywords: FAME, DMOX derivative, palmitoleic acid
