Abstract
Eight samples of cashew nut oil were assayed, and the component triacy lglycerols, fatty acids and unsaponifiable compounds were analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HP LC). Total lipid amount, unsaponifiable percentage, fatty acids, stero ls, triterpene alcohols and tocopherols are reported here. The combina tion of GC and HPLC enhanced the resolution of compound classes.
