title: Saturated long-chain hydrocarbons from Annona squamosa L. bark.
abstract: The unsaponified chloroform extract of Annona squamosa L. bark has been analysed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and was shown to consist of the conventional, even carbon number dominant distribution of saturated n-alkane homologues (C(14)-C(26)). The heptadecane (5.75%) was the only odd carbon number hydrocarbon. The total amount of hydrocarbons found in the unsaponified chloroform extract was 24.60%.
