Abstract

Anona squamosa (Linn.), the custard apple tree, is a native of tropical America but has long been naturalised in India and occurs commonly in Southern India, being cultivated for its fruit. The seeds, leaves and immature fruits are stated to contain an acid resinous principle which is destructive to insect life (Pharm. Indica, 1,44). The oil in the seeds has not been investigated and a detailed study of the fatty acids obtained on its hydrolysis forms the subject of this communication.
