esulted in the identification of fatty acids (50 %) and carbonyls (50 %) of the
compounds. Clearly, these methods identified the same classes of compounds, compounds this can be
attributed to both methods being based on distillation.
Figure 4.3: Structures uctures of compounds identified in fresh cassava leaves after
extraction using both the HS and the SS methods.
Both methods extracted geranyl acetone, β-ionone, methyl palmitate, ethyl palmitate
and methyl linolenate (Figure 4.3) 4.3). Extraction of fatty acid esters seems to occur when a
non polar solvent (n-hexane) hexane) is used for solvent extraction.
