Fatty acids composition and antimicrobial activities of Litsea garciae pulp and seed extracts
Litsea garciae is a native plant to Borneo Island. The current study aimed to identify and compare the fatty acids composition and antimicrobial activities of the pulp and seed extracts of L. garciae. The total lipids of L. garciae pulp and seed were extracted with petroleum ether (PE) and Bligh-Dye...

The current study aimed to identify and compare the fatty acids composition and antimicrobial activities of the pulp and seed extracts of L. garciae.

The fatty acids of seed extracts consisted of more than 80% saturated fatty acids whereas the pulp extracts contained a similar percentage of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids (approximately 50%). The predominant saturated fatty acids were palmitic acid followed by stearic acid for both PE and BD lipid pulp extracts.
