  abstract = {{T}he fatty acid ({FA}) composition of {O}enocarpus bataua oil from 38 samples collected over a large geographical range (i.e. {F}rench {G}uiana and {P}eru) was analyzed. {F}ifteen fatty acids were obtained from the mesocarp of this palm species. {O}leic (72.7%) and palmitic (18.1%) acids were the predominant {FA}s. {M}inor {FA}s were cis-vaccenic acid (2.3%), linoleic acid (1.9%), stearic acid (1.7%), palmitoleic (0.9%) and alpha-linolenic acid (0.8%). {T}he mean lipid content of the dry mesocarp was 51.6%. {T}he {O}. bataua oil samples analyzed were remarkably rich in alpha-tocopherol. {B}y contrast, the other fractions of the unsaponifiable matter (sterols, carotenoids) did not show any noteworthy specificity in comparison with common vegetable oils. {H}owever, the particularly high percentage in {D}elta 5-avenasterol of {O}. bataua oil could serve as a marker for its authentication. {R}esults are discussed in terms of the potential nutritional value of {O}. bataua oil.},
