The oil contents of linseeds were determined between 39.9% (Antares) and 43.3%  (Railinus). The oleic acid contents of seed oils varied between 0.8% (Maroc) and 24.8 (Railinus). The linoleic acid contents of linseed oil change between 10.2% (Avangard) and 48.2% (Maroc), while the palmitic acid of oils ranged from 4.8% (Antares) to 6.1% (Maroc), stearic acid contents ranged between 4.7% (Ava...

abstract in order to evaluate the effects of different organic and biological fertilizers on quantity and quality of essential oil of fennel an experiment was conducted in a completely randomized block design with three replications. the experimental treatments were two organic (compost and vermicompost) and two biological (pseudomonas putida and azotobacter chroococcum ) fertilizers, their all...

Palmitic acid (C16:0) already makes up approximately 25% of the total fatty acids in the conventional cotton seed oil. However, further enhancements in palmitic acid content at the expense of the predominant unsaturated fatty acids would provide increased oxidative stability of cotton seed oil and also impart the high melting point required for making margarine, shortening and confectionary pro...

The seeds of the wild Prunus armeniaca L. (wild Apricot) from the Garhwal Region of Uttarakhand (India) was analysed for its proximate compositions and the physico-chemical characteristics of the oil. The elements present in seed oil were also determined which reflected that apricot is rich in Phosphorous, Calcium, Magnesium, Iron and Copper which makes it suitable for edible and commercial oil...

The aim of this work was to analyze physicochemical characteristics and fatty acid profile of seed oil of Lavandula bipinnata. The total lipid content of L. bipinnata seed was 27.2%. The oil was liquid at room temperature, with a specific gravity and refractive index of 0.971 and 1.480 respectively. The acid value (5.764 mg NaOH/g), saponification number (188.75 mg KOH/g), ester value (182.98 m...

peel (pulp oil). Seeds contain typically around 10% oil, whereas the oil content in the soft parts varies over a much wider range from 0.5 to 10% (f. w.), largely depending on origins and varieties. Sea buckthorn seed oil and pulp oil differ considerably in fatty acid composition (Table I). While linoleic (18:2n-6) and α-linolenic (18:3n-3) acids are the major fatty acids in the seed oil, the h...

although micronutrients effect on growth and yield of different plants has been intensively investigated, but there is limited information on its effect on grain yield and seed oil content of pot marigold) calendula officinalis l.). in order to investigate the effects of micronutrients (fe, zn and mn) spraying on yield and yield components and seed oil of pot marigold, a field experiment was co...

in order to evaluate the effects of different plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (pgpr) on yield and yield components of sesame, an experiment was conducted in the form of randomized complete block design with three replications at research station, faculty of agriculture, ferdowsi university of mashhad in year 2009. treatments were: 1) nitragin (containing of azotobacter sp., azospirillum sp...

The tung tree (Vernicia fordii), a non-model woody plant belonging to the Euphorbiaceae family, is a promising economic plant due to the high content of a novel high-value oil in its seeds. Many metabolic pathways are active during seed development. Oil (triacylglycerols (TAGs)) accumulates in oil bodies distributed in the endosperm cells of tung tree seeds. The relationship between oil bodies ...
