Abstract: The olive kernel oils of Canarium album and Phyllanthus emblica were extracted with Soxhlet extraction method,and their fatty acid compositions were analyzed by GC/MS. The results showed that there were 13 fatty acids in Canarium albumkernel oil and 11 in Phyllanthus emblica kernel oil, the content of unsaturated fatty acid were 73.4% and 84.1%, linoleic acid 41.76% and 23.68%, oleic acid 30.48% and 58.37%, respectively. The odd number carbon acids (hexadecanoic acid, heptadecanoicacid) were determined out in the two oils. The two kernel oils have high nutritional and healthy value, and a wide developingpotency as new oil resources.

Key words: Canarium album, Phyllanthus emblica, fruit kernel oil, fatty acid, GC/MS
