The seeds of Terminalia catappa from Malaysia were analyzed for their physicochemical properties. The following values were obtained: moisture 6.23 ± 0.09 %, ash 3.78 ± 0.04 %, lipid 54.68 ± 0.14 %, protein 17.66 ± 0.13 %, total dietary fibre 9.97 ± 0.08 %, carbohydrate 7.68 ± 0.06 %, reducing sugar 1.36 ± 0.16 %, starch 1.22 ± 0.15 %, caloric value 593.48 ± 0.24 %. Studies were also conducted on amino acid profile and free fatty acid composition of the seed oil. Results revealed that glutamic acid was the major essential amino acid while methionine and lysine were the limiting amino acids. The major saturated fatty acid was palmitic acid, while the main unsaturated fatty acid was oleic acid followed by linoleic acid. In addition, the seed was rich in sucrose and had trace amount of glucose and fructose. Briefly, the seed was high in proteins and lipids which are beneficial to human.
对来自马来西亚的榄仁树种子进行了理化性质分析。获得了以下数值：水分6.23±0.09%，灰分3.78±0.04%，脂质54.68±0.14%，蛋白质17.66±0.13%，总膳食纤维9.97±0.08%，碳水化合物7.68±0.06%，还原糖1.36±0.16%，淀粉1.22±0.15%，热值593.48±0.24%。还对种子油的氨基酸谱和游离脂肪酸组成进行了研究。结果表明，谷氨酸是主要的必需氨基酸，而蛋氨酸和赖氨酸是限制性氨基酸。主要的饱和脂肪酸是棕榈酸，主要的不饱和脂肪酸是油酸，其次是亚油酸。此外，种子富含蔗糖，含有微量的葡萄糖和果糖。简而言之，该种子富含对人体有益的蛋白质和脂质。
