Abstract:

The chemical composition of two samples of fatty oil as well as essential oil of apricot (Prunnus armeniaca) fruit stone kernels has been determined. The fruit stones were obtained from the northern and southern areas of Pakistan, Peshawar and Quetta. The oil from the kernels of the respective samples obtained in 45.9 and 45.7% yield, is composed of myristic (1.2, 5.39%), palmitic (3.5, 3.04%), palmitoleic (9.48, 11.07%), stearic (0.84, 1.95%), oleic (70.93, 64.68%), linoleic acid (12.05, 11.83%) and unsaponifiable matter (1.88, 2.02%).
