Many people like to eat avocado because of its filling effect.

During this time we eat avocado just take the meat only. While the seeds and skin removed.

The findings made by the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley may be able to change your eating habits of avocados.

They say the hard shell that protects avocado seeds contains more than 130 substances that can be a revolution of drugs and useful for industry.

Chemist Debasish Bandyopadhyay who led the study said the compound content of avocado seed shell include docosanol or nutritional supplements, antiviral compounds, heptacosane to curb the tumor.

It also found dodecanoic acid that can protect the body from atherosclerosis (narrowing or thickening of the arteries), and has benzyl butyl phthalate to make plastic items such as curtains in soft bathrooms.

"The UK pharmaceutical factory, GlaxoSmithKline currently receives millions of dollars a year from Abreva, a drug fever that contains docosanol.

With his findings, he believes there is a huge market that can utilize avocado seeds as drugs and industrial materials, rather than throwing them down the drain. He believes, other fruit seeds are very likely to have a content that can be beneficial to the body.

"Moreover, compounds derived from nature have fewer side effects than those made from chemicals," he continued.

The findings obtained Bandyopadhyay along with his students who collected more than 300 avocados. The avocado is then dried, pulverized, and removes shell fragments.

They then used a gas chromatographic mass spectrometry analysis, ie the process of converting a substance into a vapor to identify the chemical compounds in it.
