Description Coconut lipids were fractionated by silicic acid column chromatography into neutral (about 94%) and polar (about 6%) lipid fractions. The fatty acid composition of total lipids and neutral lipid fractions was similar to that of coconut oil, and was not altered by desiccation. However the polar lipid fraction was rich in unsaturated fatty acids (35-45%) and these were decreased considerably by desiccation; arachidonic acid was reduced from 33% to 21%. This indicated of oxidation even under the mild conditions of desiccation would explain the rancidity problems encountered with desiccated coconut and foods incorporating it.
