The proximate nutritional composition of the seed cake were analyzed by the standard methods and it was found to contain moisture (14.37%), minerals (16.36%), fats (19.42%), crude fiber (19.60%), protein (8.76%) and carbohydrate (21.49%). The fatty acid composition of the oil was analyzed by GC-MS and a total of 48 compounds have been identified. The major constituents of the methylated fatty esters were linoleic acid (26.00%), elaidic acid (24.39%), stearic acid (14.32%), palmitic acid (12.97%), 10-methyl-10-nonadecanol (5.24%), ecosanoic acid (2.48%), 3-heptyne-2,5-diol, 6-methyl-5-(1-methylethyl) (2.03%), octadecanoic acid 9,10,12-trimethoxy (1.90%); 1,3-dioxalane, 4 ethyl-4-methyl-2-pentadecyl (1.89%) and 2-furapentanoic acid (1.03%). It is evident from this study that the oil can be considered as a good source of unsaturated fatty acids.</p> <p>DOI: <a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/dujps.v10i1.10015">http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/dujps.v10i1.10015</a></p> <p><em>DUJPS </em>2011; 10(1): 48-52</p> ER -
