Abstract

Lipids were extracted from fresh latex of Hevea brasiliensis clone RRIM 501 and analysed qualitatively and quantitatively by a combination of chromatographic spectroscopic and colorimetric techniques. The total lipids constituted about 1.6 of the latex out of which 54 was due to neutral lipids 33 glycolipids and 14 phospholipids. The neutral lipids comprised of carotenoid pigments free and esterified sterols free and esterified tocotrienols free fatty alcohols and their acetates tri- di- and monoglycerides and free fatty acids. Triglycerides alone constituted about 63 of the neutral lipids or 0.6 of the latex making them the major components of H. brasiliensis lipids. The glycolipids consisted of free and esterified steryl glucosides di- and monogalactosyl diglycerides while the phospholipids contained mainly phosphatidyl ethanolamine phosphatidyl choline and phosphatidyl inositol.
