The average concentrations of palmitic, stearic, and linoleic acids are higher in mature seed samples − 14.98%, 7.46%, and 48.39%, respectively, compared to green seed samples, which contain 14.93%, 6.68%, and 47.59% of these fatty acids. Green seeds exhibit a higher average oleic acid content at 30.80%, whereas mature seeds contain 29.17%.The results were statistically processed using statistical techniques: discriminant analysis (DA), principal component analysis (PCA), and multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA).enCC0 1.0 Universalhttp://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/Chemometric approachfatty acidsarticle
