. After cooling, the upper
phase containing the lipids was transferred to a new
test tube. The remaining lipids in the fruit pieces were
extracted as indicated above [8], after addition of 8 ll of
HHH solution. The lipidic phases from the extracted
samples were evaporated to dryness under N2. The
residue was dissolved in a small volume of heptane.
To compare qualitative TAG extraction data from
these fruits, 50 mg of the samples was treated as indicated
above and 50 mg of the samples was treated by
the method of Hara and Radin [8] without previous
extraction.
