Synopsis: 
Ackee arilli oils were subjected to iodine value determinations and GC-MS analysis. Consistent with the iodine value, ackees analysed contained primarily oleic acid, palmitic and stearic acids with minor amounts of linoleic acid. Ackee diets may provide some health benefits.

ABSTRACT 

Objective: To re-investigate the composition of ackee oil and unequivocally determine its principal fatty acid components.
