This study was conducted to determine the fatty acid composition of phospholipids (PL), monoglycerides (MG), diglycerides (DG), free fatty acids (FFA) and triglycerides (TG) of mature beach pea seeds and the elemental composition of mature beach pea seed coats and embryos. In beach pea seeds, PL were dominated by C18:2 and C16:0 and MG contained high quantities of C18:2, C16:0 and C18:1. Diglycerides showed high C18:0, C16:0 and C18:2. Free fatty acids were dominated by C18:2, C16:0, C18:1 and C18:0, and TG were dominated by C18:1, C18:0 and C16:0. Energy dispersive X-ray microanalysis revealed K as the most abundant element in whole seed, seed coat and embryo. However, embryos showed significantly higher relative weight percentage of K than whole seeds and seed coats. Whole seeds and embryos contained higher P, S and Cl relative weight percentages than seed coats. Seed coats contained higher Ca, Na a nd Mg relative weight percentages than embryos. Aluminium, Si, Mn, Fe, Cu and Zn distribution between seed coat and embryo was uniform. Key words: Beach pea, element, fatty acid, Lathyrus maritimus L., lipid, seed
