The present research aimed to determine the fatty acid profile in the seed oil of cagaita fruits cultivated in Goiania, state of Goias, in 2013 and 2014 harvests. The study was carried out with fruits produced by cagaita trees cultivated in the field of the School of Agronomy, Federal University of Goias (EA/UFG), Goiania, GO, where, in 1998, 440 cagaita seedlings from different municipalities in Goias were planted. Fruits were collected from plants with 16 years of age in full production stage. Cagaita seeds show in their fatty acid profile mostly linoleic acid, oleic acid and palmitic acid. There was no variation in fatty acids content present in seeds between years 2013 and 2014, assuming that there are no external influences such as weather, foliar nutrients or soil, in the production of these oils.
