the oil and protein content of three varieties of water melon seeds namely, chillian black, dixy queen and charlston gray were determined. the soluble proteins were studied and measured by paper chromatography and amino acid analyzer. the results indicated that oil content of the seeds was 43, 53 and 45% and protein content was 27, 23, and 34% respectively. the soluble proteins contained all th...

Oil content, fatty acid composition and the distribution of vitamin-E-active compounds of selected Turkish seeds that are typically by-products of the food processing industries (linseed, apricot, pear, fennel, peanut, apple, cotton, quince and chufa), were determined. The oil content of the samples ranged from 16.9 to 53.4 g/100 g. The dominating fatty acids were oleic acid (apricot seed oil, ...

Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) is one of most important oilseed crops in the world. There are now various rapeseed cultivars in nature that differ in their seed oil content because they vary in oil-content alleles and there are high-oil alleles among the high-oil rapeseed cultivars. For these experiments, we generated doubled haploid (DH) lines derived from the cross between the specially high-oi...

this study carried out to determine the differences between oil content and fatty acid compositions of 12 exotic and 6 local safflower genotypes. the experiments were arranged in randomized complete blocks design with three replications in research station of ferdowsi university of mashhad. the results of variance analysis showed that the differences of seed yield, oil content and fatty acid co...

For determining the oil content, seed and fruit characteristics of Ethiopian Jatropha provenances, the study was conducted in five regions of Ethiopia namely Southern Nation Nationalities Peoples Regional state, Amhara region, Tigria region, Oromia region and Benishangul Gumuz Regions, where Jatropha is found abundantly. A total of 23 Zones, 36 Weredas and 40 sampling sites were considered from...

breeders will probably concentrate more effort on other agronomic and chemical characteristics of this plant. A knowledge of the genetic behavior of oil content, protein content and seed coat type should be helpful in the selection of high oil and protein lines. The purpose of this paper is to report inheritance studies of oil content, protein content and rough and smooth seed coat type along w...
