Abstract. Rahman H, Sitompul JP, Tjokrodiningrat S. 2022. The composition of fatty acids in several vegetable oils from Indonesia. Biodiversitas 23: 2167-2176. Fatty are generally incorporated into a triglyceride structure and this indicates source acids. triglycerides groups commonly known to have detrimental effect on health but an important role terms nutrition, health, also industrial raw materials. Therefore, study was conducted identify the edible which quite widely available Indonesia such as coconut oil, palm kernel nutmeg cinnamon canarium oil. profile these determined using high-performance liquid chromatography while by comparing peaks each oil with standard It discovered that all six contain different compositions, signifies availability complete variety Moreover, highest acid content found be lauric concentration 49.00% 49.25% respectively contents include palmitic 44.00% oleic 41.00%. dominated myristic 78.00%, stearic 50.16%, 51.71%. Furthermore, range for includes 14.66-91.20% saturated, 6.30-52.31% monounsaturated, 1.35-33.03% polyunsaturated These results can used information process utilizing oils, provide data required estimate nutritional value plant biodiversity originating
