The results showed that the contents of fatty oils in the fruits are abundant. The main constituents of unsaturated fatty acids are α-linolenic acid, linolic acid, oleic acid, and arachidonic acid. The main constituents of saturated fatty acids are palmitic acid and stearic acid. Although different kinds of fruit oils have different content of a specific unsaturated fatty acid, the content of total unsaturated fatty acids is more than 90% of fruit oils. The fruits also contain eighteen kinds of amino acids and some mineral elements. Due to high nutritional ingredients, there is potential prospect to explore and utilize them. Their morphological characters were also discussed.展开更多
