Percentage Yield

Garcinia kola (Bitter cola) is a medicinal plant which is exclusively tropical in distribution. Traditionally, African medicine regards the plant in high esteem. Oil extract from Garcinia kola had a deep brown color percentage yield of 3.3522 ± 0.01, Specific gravity of 0.9158 ± 0.01, Refractive index of1.5400 ± 0.01 and Viscosity (30°C)(Pas/sec) of 74.4383 ± 0.02 as its physical parameters respectively. All the physical parameters observed were very high compared with normal convectional oil. The chemical parameters wereAcid value 17.3910 ± 0.20mg/g, Free fatty acid 1.2174 0.20mg/g, Iodine value 26.9028 0.10g/100g, Saponification value 33.6600 ± 0.2mmol/kg and Peroxide value 24.000 0.2mg/g respectively. The saponification value which is inversely proportional to the mean molecular weight of the glycerides in the oil was very low. The antibacterial activities were Klebsiellapneumonia 0.20 ± 0.01, Streptococcus cereus 0.60 0.01, Staphylococcus aureus0.50 ± 0.02 and Salmonella typhii 0.30 ± 0.01 respectively. The fatty acid composition of the oil were palmitic acid (C16:0) 22.3528 as the only highest saturated fatty acid, Oleic acid (C18:1) 26.2410 as the only highest monounsaturated fatty acid, Linoleic acid (C18; 2) 42.9273 and linolenic acid (C18: 3) as the only polyunsaturated fatty acids present.The oil extracted from this seed showed that the seed had a low yield and the oil is a non-drying oil and very viscous. It can be effectively used for variety of domestic and pharmaceutical applications for curative purpose and fatty acid composition of this oil, suggest some industrial potentials.

Induced Aggregation

SummaryPlatelet aggregation and its relation to fatty acid composition of platelets, plasma and adipose tissue was determined in 196 randomly selected, free-living, 40-49-year-old men in two regions of Finland (east and southwest) with a nearly twofold difference in the IHD rate.There were no significant east-southwest differences in platelet aggregation induced with ADP, thrombin or epinephrine. ADP-induced platelet secondary aggregation showed significant negative associations with all C20-C22 ω3-fatty acids in platelets (r = -0.26 - -0.40) and with the platelet 20: 5ω3/20: 4ω 6 and ω3/ ω6 ratios, but significant positive correlations with the contents of 18:2 in adipose tissue (r = 0.20) and plasma triglycerides (TG) (r = 0.29). Epinephrine-induced aggregation correlated negatively with 20: 5ω 3 in plasma cholesteryl esters (CE) (r = -0.23) and TG (r = -0.29), and positively with the total percentage of saturated fatty acids in platelets (r = 0.33), but had no significant correlations with any of the ω6-fatty acids. Thrombin-induced aggregation correlated negatively with the ω3/6ω ratio in adipose tissue (r = -0.25) and the 20: 3ω6/20: 4ω 6 ratio in plasma CE (r = -0.27) and free fatty acids (FFA) (r = -0.23), and positively with adipose tissue 18:2 (r = 0.23) and 20:4ω6 (r = 0.22) in plasma phospholipids (PL).The percentages of prostanoid precursors in platelet lipids, i. e. 20: 3ω 6, 20: 4ω 6 and 20 :5ω 3, correlated best with the same fatty acids in plasma CE (r = 0.32 - 0.77) and PL (r = 0.28 - 0.74). Platelet 20: 5ω 3 had highly significant negative correlations with the percentage of 18:2 in adipose tissue and all plasma lipid fractions (r = -0.35 - -0.44).These results suggest that, among a free-living population, relatively small changes in the fatty acid composition of plasma and platelets may be reflected in significant differences in platelet aggregation, and that an increase in linoleate-rich vegetable fat in the diet may not affect platelet function favourably unless it is accompanied by an adequate supply of ω3 fatty acids.
