Fatty acid composition of the oil of winged beans,Psophocarpus tetragonolobus (L.) DC

Abstract: The fatty acid composition of the oils of five varieties of winged beans,Psophocarpus tetragonolobus (L.) DC, was determined and found to be similar to peanut oil. The total unsaturated fatty acids ranged from 53.8% to 68.5% (mean, 62.0%). Oleic acid and linoleic acids were the major unsaturated fatty acids. The major saturated fatty acids were behenic, palmitic and stearic acids. Parinaric acid, a toxic fatty acid, previously reported to occur in winged beans, was not present in the oil of the winged beans an… Show more

“…Several reports have been made on the fatty acid composition, and have noted the absence of parinaric acid (3). The present authors reportedd that winged bean lipid is a potential source of edible oil since it contains 90 triacylglycerol (triglyceride) and its fatty acid composition is characteristic of saturated long-chain fatty acids, such as behenic acid (18.5%), and lignoceric acid (4.2%) (4).…”

“…Thus, the hexane extracted oil also needs refining to ensure its safe use in food products (Rout et al 2014). Over all, the present analysis of P. tetragonolobus oil contained 75.5 % USFA and 21.9 % SFA, whereas soybean oil contained around 86 % of USFA and 14 % SFA (Garcia and Palmer 1979). Thus P. tetragonolobus fatty oil may be fulfilled a gap of high demand soybean oil.…”

“…Ekpenyong and Borchers (1980) have studied physicochemical properties including the fatty oil of Nigerian P.tetragonolobus seeds. Garcia and Palmer (1979) have carried out the similar study on five different varieties of P. tetragonolobus seeds including the Nigeria variety synonymously reported the chemical composition of fatty oil identified as oleic acid (35.04-41.01 %) and linoleic acid (15.28-31.77 %). However, no separation of linolenic acid and arachidic acid was reported.…”
