✦ Synopsis


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 African oil palm parent, whereas kernel oils from the American oil palm are considerably more unsaturated and exhibit a unique fatty acid composition among seed fats of the Palmae family.

## Abstract Kernel oils from different palms of __Elaeis oleifera__, F~1~ hybrids and back‐cross with __Elaeis guineensis__ were analysed for iodine value, fatty acid and triglyceride composition. Kernel oils of F~1~ hybrids and back‐cross were close in fatty acid and triglyceride composition to th
