MIMUSOPS MANILKARA CONSTITUENTS OF FRUIT AND SEED

The mesocarp yielded caprylic acid esters and acetates of α- and β-amyrins, α-spinasterol and β-d-glucoside of β-sitosterol; the seed coat constituents including dihydroquercetin and quercetin were the same as those present in the seed coats of the other two spp. of Mimusops; xylose has also been found to be a constituent sugar of the seed kernel saponin besides those reported in the past. © 1970.
