Phulwara [Aisandra Butyracea]
Phulwara [Aisandra Butyracea] Fat
Phulwara fat is light yellow to white in colour. It has a pleasant taste and
odour. The fatty acid composition is - C16 (60.8%), C18 (3.2%), C18:1 (30.9%),
C18:2 (4.9%). It is rich in palmitic acid.
The symmetric glyceride POP is 62% and it is possible to obtain POP enriched
fraction which can be as good as palm mid-fraction. This fraction therefore
is suitable for blending with SOS fractions obtained from sal, mango kernel,
kokum and dhupa fats to prepare cocoa butter equivalent

(41.4%),C18:2 (1.3%) and C20 (1.4%). Acetone fractionation gives 75% yield
of stearine with SOS content of 85%. This stearine is used with palm mid-fraction
for preparing cocoa butter equivalent.

Kokum [Garcina Indica Choisy] Fat
Kokum butter or fat is very clean fat with fatty acid composition C16 (3.4%),
C18 (67.4%), C18:1 (28.1%), C18:2 (0.6%) and C20 (0.3%). It has a very high
symmetrical SOS content (83.4%). This has been, therefore useful for direct
(without any fractionation) blending with palm mid-fraction for preparing
cocoa butter equivalents.

Pongamia pinnata
Lipids: Oil is the most important product of the pongam tree and vast amounts of seeds are collected in India for commercial processing of industrial uses. It has been found that the seed contains 27-40% of a thick, yellow or reddish-brown oil and that 2 kg of mature pods will yield about 1 kg of husked kernels. Extracted oil amounts to 13.4% of the whole seed pod; 26.97% of the kernels. The oil has a bitter taste, a disagreeable aroma and a specific gravity of 0.9371 at 15 deg. C. It is used as a lubricant, varnish, water-paint binder and in soap making. It is one of the few nitrogen-fixing trees to produce seeds containing oil.
