TLDR
The Buchanania lanzan seed oil appears to be a promising one as a commercial source of palmitic and oleic acids and on directed interesterification the oil yielded a product with a slip point of 41.5°C which may be suitable as a coating material for delayed action tablets.Abstract:
The fatty acid composition of Buchanania lanzan seed oil, determined by urea complex formation and gas liquid chromatography (g.l.c), was found to be: myristic, 0.6; palmitic, 33.4; stearic, 6.3; oleic, 53.7; and linoleic, 6.0%. Triglyceride compositions of the native seed oil and its randomised product were calculated from the fatty acid compositions of the triglycerides and of the corresponding 2-monoglycerides produced by pancreatic lipase hydrolysis. The oil is composed of 3.2, 35.8, 45.5 and 15.5% trisaturated, monounsaturated disaturated, diunsaturated monosaturated and triunsaturated glycerides respectively. The special characteristic of the B. lanzan seed oil is its content of 22.7, 31.0 and 11.3% dipalmitoolein, dioleopalmitin and triolein respectively. The percent GS3 content in the oil increased from 3.2 to 7.5 by the process of randomisation. On directed interesterification the oil yielded a product with a slip point of 41.5°C which may be suitable as a coating material for delayed action tablets. The oil also appears to be a promising one as a commercial source of palmitic and oleic acids.read more

TL;DR: Buchanania lanzan Spreng, commonly known as char, achar and chironji, belongs to family Anacardiaceae and was first described by Francis Hamilton in 1798 as mentioned in this paper.
Preliminary phytochemical investigation on leaves of buchanania lanzan (chironji)
TL;DR: Identification, separation and quantification of chemical constituents was carried out on the leaves of buchanaia lanzan using, chemical testing, TLC and HPTLC techniques, which may assign a new potential role of B. lanzan extract in human health care.

The chemical constitution of natural fats.
TL;DR: In this article, a brief summary of the composition of the natural fats which come within the scope of a discussion upon the subject of triglyceride fats in human nutrition is given, by considering, first, typical compositions of human and other,mammalian fats (depot, liver and milk) and, subsequently, the compositions of the vegetable and marine animal fats which are most commonly utilized as sources of human dietary fat.

A rapid and quantitative procedure for the preparation of methyl esters of butteroil and other fats
TL;DR: In this article, a simple and convenient method for the quantitative preparation of methyl esters of fatty acids from glyceride fats and oils is described, using potassium methylate as catalyst and a heating interval of 2 min at 65C in a closed vial, is applicable to fats containing both low and high molecular weight fatty acids such as butteroil.

Calculation of the distribution of the saturated and unsaturated acyl groups in fats, from pancreatic lipase hydrolysis data
TL;DR: In this paper, the proportions of the glyceride types and isomeric forms in some fats in which C16−C18 chains are greatly in excess can be determined by calculations based on a) the percentage of saturated acyl groups in the whole fat, b) the proportion of saturated groups in 2-monoglycerides which can be derived from the fats by hydrolysis, and c) the assumption that all the saturated and unsaturated groups (S and U) present in each of the three positions in the molecules are dispersed therein at random, and d
