Abstract
The steryl ester fraction of coconut and palm kernel oils has been separated and analysed by gas chromatography (GC) and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The gas chromatograms of the steryl ester fractions of the oils are rather similar, but the liquid chromatograms show important differences which may represent a basis for distinguishing between the two oils.

## Abstract The mesocarp oil of the American oil palm is more unsaturated than that of the West African oil palm. Mesocarp oils obtained from F~1~ hybrids of these two oil palms exhibit an intermediate degree of unsaturation. Hybrid kernel oils are similar in composition to that of their West Afric
The e β ect of hydrochloric acid treatment for the dehulling of palm kernel on the nutritional quality of its protein was studied and compared with that of untreated kernel protein and casein. Rats fed a treated defatted kernel protein diet had slightly lower gains in body weight (59Γ5 g) when compar
