Studies on Fatty Acids Composition and Some Valuable Nutrients of Piper nigrum Linn. (Gol Morich)

Abstract: This study deals with physical and chemical characteristics and some nutritional properties of the fatty oil extracted from Piper nigrum Linn. (Black Pepper). The seeds of Black Pepper contained fatty acids 12.02% of which the saturated and unsaturated fatty acids contributed 68.71% and 31.29%, respectively. The fatty acids identified by GLC are lauric acid (26.93%), myristic (8.26%), palmitoleic (13.47%), palmitic (12.24%), oleic (17.82%), stearic (17.28%) and lignoceric acid (4.00%). The specific gravity and… Show more

“…In addition, there were no extreme values according to the Grubbs test, which showed that the data exhibit random variability. The total ash and fixed mineral residue ranged from 3.65% to 5.33% db, within the range of values reported in the literature, and from 2.75 to 6.30% db (Ravindran and Kallupurackal, 2012;Abukawsar et al, 2018;Machado et al, 2021), with values between 3.57% and 12.49% (wet basis, wb) (Al-Jasass and Al-Jasser, 2012;Hossain et al, 2014). These results verified that the evaluated samples are sources of minerals.…”

“…Total unsaturated fatty acids were 83.24, 95.62, 86.46, 92.99, 81.34 and 87.82% for cress, mustard, black cumin, fenugreek, black pepper and clove, respectively. Other fatty acids found in local African condiments include lauric acid, myristic acid, palmitoleic acid, palmitic acid, oleic acid, stearic acid, and lignoceric acid [24,25]. Fatty acids such as caprylic, capric, lauric, myristic, palmitic, margaric, stearic, oleic linoleic and linolenic fatty acids were also found in fermented and non-fermented melon seeds (Citrullus vulgaris), a local African seasoning [26].…”

“…The gastric, carminative, antioxidant, antibacterial, antimicrobial, immunomodulatory, larvicidal, antibiotic, anti-inflammatory, antitumour, antipyretic, and antioxidant properties of black pepper are also reported (Charles 2012). The proximate analysis of black pepper shows moisture content 2.17%, dry matter 97.83%, crude ash 12.49%, nitrogen content 1.85%, crude protein 11.56%, carbohydrates 45.16%, crude fibre 16.66% and nutritional energy 335.06 gcal -1 (Hossain et al, 2015). Fatty acid content of black pepper comprises palmitic acid 28.57%, oleic acid 14.95%, linoleic acid 26.61% and linolenic acid 9.32% (Saini et al 2021).…”
