The seeds cf Pinus Koraiensis mere studied for their moisture, total lipids and ash contents and fatty acid composition. The seeds contained ca. 3.6% moisture, 70.4% purified total lipids and 2.5% ash. The proximate composition of the seeds was not influenced by the sampling rears (1984 and 1985). Twenty-one fatty acids ranged from myristic to arachidic acids were identified in the seed lipids. The seed lipids contained linoleic acid (47.9%), oleic acid (28.4%) and 5, 9, 12-18:3(11.1%) as major fatty acids and 5,9,12-18:3, 5,11-20:2 and 5,11,14-20:3 as 5-olefinic nonmethylene-interrupted polyenoic acids. The sampling Tears also had no effect on the fatty acid composition of the seed lipids.
