Physico-chemical characteristics of Simarouba glauca seed and its oil were determined and compared with literature values. The kernels provided 67% of total lipids and 56-58% hexane soluble fat. Fatty acid composition of expeller and solvent extracted fat and different lipid fractions were also determined. This is the first report of the lipid and fatty acid composition of fractions of Simarouba glauca fat.
