The oil was characterized by its Supercritical fluid extraction fatty acid composition, physicochemical properties, and the contents of phenolic, miscellaneous, phytosterol, Agroindustrial by-products and tocopherol compounds. The oil, obtained with a yield of 8.6 ± 1.2 g oil/100 g guava seeds, had a high Agroindustrial waste content of linoleic acid (78.5 %, w/w), followed by that of oleic acid (13.8 %, w/w). The guava seed oil had Tropical fruit physicochemical properties comparable to those published in previous research, except for the low stability to Linolenic acid oxidation. The chromatographic profile of the phenolic and miscellaneous compounds was dominated by va- Vanillin Cinnamaldehyde nillin (9.6 ± 0.3 mg/100 g oil) and cinnamaldehyde (9.4 ± 0.2 mg/100 g oil), followed by vanillic acid (3.9 ± 0.4 mg/100 g oil), cinnamic acid (2.4 ± 0.1 mg/100 g oil), and minor amounts of other phenolic al- dehydes. Among the phytosterols and tocopherols, β-sitosterol (1048.9 ± 48.4 mg/100 g oil) and γ-tocopherol (82.6 ± 3.7 mg/100 g oil) were the most abundant. The low oxidative stability of the oil compared to that published in previous reports might reflect the high complexity of this matrix. This oil might have applications, directly or after blending with more stable edible oils. 1.

Fatty acid composition of guava seed oil e.g., the Soxhlet method (Mezzomo et al., 2010), it was hypothesized that a different composition might be obtained when extracting oil from The fatty acid composition was evaluated after interesterification guava seeds by supercritical CO2 extraction.

Esterification with methanol was performed by available. The aim of this research was, therefore, to characterize an incubating 200 μL of oil with 5 mL of 5% (v/v) HCl in methanol at 50 °C edible oil obtained from guava seeds by supercritical CO2 extraction on for 8 h. Next, the fatty acid methyl esters were extracted twice with such features. 2mL n-hexane. Then, the n-hexane extract was analysed by GC-FID.
