Abstract. Bioactive lipids are a group of lipids that can exhibit biological activity, prevent certain deadly diseases, and serve as sources of energy and nutrients for human’s daily activities. Thus, the need for their regular availability in the body system. The bioactive lipids (fat-soluble vitamins, phytosterol, and fatty acids), phospholipids, and phytochemicals present in Hura crepitans seed oil were investigated using standard analytical procedures. The nutritional, antinutritional, and physicochemical properties were also investigated. The result showed that the seed oil is rich in β sitosterol, campesterol, stigmasterol, and vitamin A. It also has a high percentage of linoleic acid and oleic acid, with a total unsaturated fatty acid of 80.31 %. The total phospholipid content was 3717.91 mg/100 g, with phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine being highly abundant in the seed oil. The sample has 1.63 and 2.714 mg/100 g of saponin and alkaloids, respectively, and 0.530 mg/100 g of oxalate. The oil has a high percentage of oil yield, ionization, and saponification values and a high amount of fat (37.5 %) and protein (27.31 %). Therefore, the oil from this underutilized plant could be of numerous applications in the pharmaceutical, cosmetics, and food industries as sources of important bioactive compounds.
Resumen. Los lípidos bioactivos son un grupo de lípidos que pueden exhibir actividad biológica, prevenir ciertas enfermedades mortales y servir como fuentes de energía y nutrientes para las actividades diarias del ser humano. De ahí la necesidad de su disponibilidad regular en el sistema corporal. Los lípidos bioactivos (vitaminas liposolubles, fitosterol y ácidos grasos), fosfolípidos y fitoquímicos presentes en el aceite de semilla de Hura crepitans se investigaron utilizando procedimientos analíticos estándar. También se investigaron las propiedades nutricionales, antinutricionales y fisicoquímicas. El resultado mostró que el aceite de semilla es rico en β sitosterol, campesterol, estigmasterol y vitamina A. También tiene un alto porcentaje de ácidos linoleico y oleico, con un total de ácidos grasos insaturados de 80.31 %. El contenido total de fosfolípidos fue de 3717.91 mg/100 g, siendo la fosfatidilcolina y la fosfatidiletanolamina, muy abundantes en el aceite de semilla. La muestra tiene 1.63 y 2.714 mg/100 g de saponina y alcaloides, respectivamente, y 0.530 mg/100 g de oxalato. El aceite tiene un alto porcentaje de rendimiento de aceite, valores de ionización y saponificación y una alta cantidad de grasa (37.5 %) y proteína (27,31 %). Por tanto, el aceite de esta planta subutilizada podría tener numerosas aplicaciones en las industrias farmacéutica, cosmética y alimentaria como fuente de importantes compuestos bioactivos.
