Abstract:
The present study showed GC/MS analyses of the saponifiable matters of Avocado fruit and Sesame seed fixed oils, which obtained from Souss Argane Company. Avocado (
Persa americana) fruit fixed oil contained saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids with percentages 8.87%, 44.61% and 6.40%, respectively. The major fatty acids were oleic acid methyl ester (43.61%). While, Sesame (
Sesamum indicum) seed fixed oil contained saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids with percentages 23.05%, 33.65% and 39.79%, respectively. The major fatty acids were linoleic acid methyl ester (37.40%) followed by oleic acid methyl ester (29.09%).
