Fatty acids composition in Ptychosperma elegans **and Livistona chineensis fruits harvested in Cuba**

Las palmas (familia Arecaceae) son una importante fuente de materias primas para varias industrias, incluida la alimentaria y la farmacéutica. Aunque en Cuba crecen más de 100 especies de palmas, ya sean nativas o introducidas, éstas han sido poco estudiadas. Las fracciones lipídicas se obtuvieron por extracción en Söxhlet con hexano a partir de frutos maduros, secos y molidos, y los análisis se llevaron a cabo por cromatografía de gases. Se conocieron los rendimientos de extracción, las características organolépticas y las composiciones de ácidos grasos de las fracciones lipídicas obtenidas a partir de los frutos enteros de P. elegans y L. chinensis recolectados en Cuba, las cuales pudieran ser fuentes de interés en las industrias farmacéutica y alimentaria. El trabajo determinará el rendimiento de extracción, las características organolépticas y la composición de ácidos grasos de las fracciones lipídicas de los frutos de las palmas Ptychosperma elegans (R. Br.) Blume y Livistona chinensis (Jacq.) R. Br., recolectados en Cuba.

Palms (family Arecaceae) are an important source of raw material for several industries, including the food and pharmaceutical ones. Despite more than 100 palm species grow in Cuba, yet native or introduced, they have been little studied. lipidic fractions were obtained from dried and milled ripe fruits by extraction in Söxhlet with hexane, and analyses were carried out by gas chromatography. The present work allowed know the extraction yields, the organoleptic characteristics and the fatty acids compositions of the lipid fractions obtained from the whole fruits of P. elegans and L. chinensis harvested in Cuba, which could be sources of interest in the pharmaceutical and food industries. To determine the extraction yield, the organoleptic characteristics and the fatty acid composition of the lipidic fractions of the fruits of the palms Ptychosperma elegans (R. Br.) Blume and Livistona chinensis (Jacq.) R. Br. harvested in Cuba.
