Evaluation of the variability of citrullus colocynthis (l) schrad as potential biodiesel feedstock: oil content, oil yield and the fatty acid composition
نویسندگان
چکیده
Citrullus colocynthis has been garnering interest in recent times as a potential biodiesel feed stockcrop due to its high seed oil content and natural adaptation drought The variability (OC), Oil yield (kg/ha) (OY) fatty acid composition were investigated for 12 accessions collected different localities Morocco. Analysis of the data revealed among accessions, with ranging between 17.1 24.3 % weight from 35.3 172.7 kg/ha. predominant was linoleic acid, C18:2, 67.0 73.0 total acids average values unsaturated vary 75.25 81.94 %.The wide range variations found this study traits measured offers possibility genetic improvement develop cultivars production compatible sustainable ecological agriculture.

Evaluation of four safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) genotypes for oil content and fatty acidcomposition showed that oil content varied from 22.16 to 34.39% and the highest seed oilcontent was obtained from Isfahan14 genotype (34.39%, respectively). Among those fatty acidswere detected, linoleic acid (75.81- 77.86%) was the predominant fatty acid followed by oleic(12.57–13.75%), palmitic (6.0...

Citrullus colocynthis (L.) Schrad. (Cucurbitaceae) is a medicinal plant traditionally used as an abortifacient and to treat constipation, oedema, bacterial infections, cancer and diabetes. Preliminary phytochemical screening of the plant showed the presence of large amounts of phenolics and flavonoids. Subsequent quantification showed the presence of 0.74% (m/m) phenolics (calculated as gallic ...
