Genetic diversity in fatty acid composition and antioxidant capacity of Nigella sativa L. genotypes
2017-05-01
Abstract excerpt
A study was conducted to explore the suitability of Nigella sativa L. oil for human consumption on the basis of fatty acid (FA) composition in twenty three selected genotypes. Total oil content ranged from 147 to 270 ml/kg. Eleven fatty acids including palmitic, oleic, and linoleic acids were found during fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) analysis. Linoleic acid was major contributor in the range of 608.9 ml/l (AN-1...
