| Abstract | Delonix regia is an underexploited plant with oil-rich seeds. This study characterized the bioactive constituents in theseed oil with a view to ascertaining its usefulness in replacing expensive conventional oils in industrial applications.Identification and quantification of the compounds were done with gas chromatography with flame ionization detector (GC-FID)after extraction using n-hexane. The main bioactive contents per 100g oil were tocopherols (53.10 mg), tocotrienol (1.64 mg),terpenoids (0.461 mg), phospholipids (378.11 mg), and sterols (507.42 mg). Sitosterol (310.63 mg), campesterol (105.81 mg),and stigma-sterol (78.31 mg) dominated the sterols while phosphatidylcholine (249.43 mg) and phosphatidylinositol (81.56 mg)were the major phospholipids. The major tocols were ?-tocopherol (3.93 mg) and ?- tocopherol (48.83 mg), whereas ?tocotrienol (1.08 mg) was the major tocotrienol. Terpenoids including taraxerol, ?-amyrin, ?- amyrin, luperol and bauerenolacetate were quantified in trace amounts. It was concluded that the D. regia seed oil could contribute to novel researchapplications in food, cosmetics, pharmaceutical, and various other non-food industries. |
