Changes in cotyledonary lipids during drying of cacao (Theobroma cacao L.) seeds

Cacao seeds killed by drying stress showed decreased amounts of phospholipid and declining levels of unsaturation in the polar lipid fraction compared with fresch seeds or seeds stored in polyethylene bags. The neutral lipid fraction was not affected by drying.
