Safflower seeds provide an oil rich in mono and polyunsaturated fatty acids. Its adaptation to drought and high temperatures makes it an alternative for the development of oleaginous crops in semi-arid areas. This study examines the oil content and the chemical composition of seed oil from three safflower accessions (Gila, Halab, Touggourt) cultivated over three years (2015, 2016, and 2017) in a semi-arid area in Tiaret (West of Algeria). Under these semi-arid conditions, characterized by low rainfall and high temperatures, seed oil content remained relatively high and was composed mainly of unsaturated fatty acids, with their ratio to saturated fatty acids reaching an average value of 9. Seed oil content varies between 22.8% and 28.4% among the genotypes and throughout the three years. The extracted oil consists essentially of unsaturated fatty acids, linoleic and oleic acids, poly and monounsaturated, respectively. Their contents over the three years vary between 75% and 79.3% for linoleic acid and between 10.2% and 14.7% for oleic acid. The saturated fatty acids content of the oil reached a maximum value of 9%. They consist mainly of palmitic acid, of which the average genotypic content varies between 6.6% and 7.15% depending on all grown years. The results obtained may assist in better understanding the response of cultivars under rainfed conditions and could be helpful for breeders with regards to introduction into selection programs.

Abstract Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) cultivated accessions contains useful genes encoding different phenotypic characteristic through which the origin of sunflower oil could be hypothesized. Those genes could be later used for future breeding programs for providing better quality sunflower oil. The objective of the current study is to discriminate genetic diversity of cultivated sunflower seeds collection through the statistical methods such as PCA (principal component analysis) and Pearson correlation analysis for two characters; seed oil content and fatty acid composition. Materials and methods: In the present study, the genetic diversity of 107 cultivated accessions of Helianthus annuus L. was studied for fatty acid composition and oil content. Pearson correlation and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) were used to determine the correlation between the studied parameters. A dendrogram using Ward’s method and the squared Euclidean distance coefficient was produced. The results showed that the average seed oil content in the accessions was 29.51 % with a profile of 7.23 % palmitic acid (PAL), 5.04 % stearic acid (STE), 36.85 % oleic acid (OLE) and 50.85 % linoleic acid (LIN). The highest oil content was found in accession Hopi Dye (43.66 %). High levels of OLE were observed in the Csehszlovakiai “B” (60.14 %) and Vk-47 (55.73 %) accessions. On the other hand, Fuksinka 10 and Georgia accessions had the lowest mean PAL values (4.98 %) and STE (1.81 %), respectively. Palmitoleic acid (PALM) was identified in 29 accessions and linolenic acid (LIL) in 32 accessions, the highest in Gonondu (0.86 %) and Oleisty Borovskil (0.76 %), respectively. A significant negative relationship between OLE, STE and saturated fatty acids (SFA) with oil content was observed. The Pearson correlation of unsaturated fatty acids to saturated fatty acids ratio (UFA/SFA ratio) with oil content was positive and significant. In the PCA analysis, four major principal components (PCs) were identified, accounting for 87.19 % of the total variations. In PC1, PAL and STE (with positive coefficients) and UFA/SFA ratio (with negative coefficients), had the highest loadings, which determined 41.33 % of the total variations. In PC 2, OLE (with negative coefficient) and LIN (with positive coefficient), had the highest values. According to the dendrogram of the accessions, they were grouped into seven distinct clusters and the accessions in clusters 4 and 7 contained high UFA and low SFA values. The findings of this study showed that there is a significant genetic diversity among the accessions, which can be used to maximize heterosis in sunflower breeding programs.

This study was conducted to assess fruit and seed yield, oil content and oil composition of Jatropha curcas fertilized with different doses of nitrogen and potassium in Espinal (Tolima, Colombia). The yields ranged from 4,570 to 8,800 kg ha-1 of fruits and from 2,430 to 4,746 kg ha-1 of seeds. These yields showed that the fertilizer dose of 150 kg ha-1 N + 120 kg ha-1K increased fruit production by 92% and seed production by 95%, which represents an increase of about 100% in oil production, which increased from 947 to 1,900 kg ha-1. The total oil content in the seeds ranged from 38.7 to 40.1% (w/w) with a high content of the unsaturated fatty acids oleic (> 47%) and linoleic acid (> 29%). The highest content of oleic acid in the seed oil was from the unfertilized control plants and plants with an application of 100 kg ha-1 of N and 60 kg ha-1 of K, with an average of 48%. The lowest content of oleic acid was registered when a low dose of nitrogen and a high level of potassium were applied at a ratio of 1:2.4 and doses of 50 kg ha-1 N + 120 kg ha-1 K, respectively. Low contents of the saturated fatty acids palmitic (13.4%) and stearic (7.26%) were obtained, making this oil suitable for biodiesel production. The nitrogen was a more important nutrient for the production and quality of oil in J. curcas than potassium under the studied conditions of soil and climate.

The aim of this study was to determine the chemical composition (fatty acids, tocopherols, and sterols) and evaluate the oxidative stability of Moroccan pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) seed oil. The oil content of pomegranate seed was 22.63 g/100g of dry weight. The fatty acid composition showed a dominance of conjugated linolenic acids (CLnAs) (86.96 g/100g). The most dominant fatty acid was punicic acid (75.1 g/100g), followed by catalpic acid (6.7 g/100g) and linoleic acid with amounts of 4.11 g/100g. The seed oil only contained a low level of saturated fatty acids with palmitic (2.64 g/100g) and stearic acids (1.73 g/100g) as main saturated fatty acids. The sterol marker, β-sitosterol, accounted for 404.59 mg/100g of the total sterol content in the seed oil. Total tocopherol content in seed oil was 332.44 mg/100g. γ-tocopherol (190.47 mg/100g oil) is the major constituent, followed by α-tocopherol (74.62 mg/100g oil) and δ-tocopherol (53.3 mg/100g oil). The induction time calculated by the Rancimat accelerated method was found to be of 3.6 h at 120 °C. In terms of oil, pomegranate seed oil may be considered as a valuable source for new multipurpose products with industrial, cosmetic and pharmaceutical uses.

Peanuts (Arachis hypogaea L.) are one of the major oilseed crops of the world and are an important source of protein in many countries. In this study, some nutrients and characteristics of the seeds’ oil extracted from four peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) varieties: Line 27r (Israel), Line 9 (Malawi), Line 4 (Brazil) and Line 18 (Israel) cultivated, for first time, in Upper Egypt were subjected to the comparative assessment with control NC variety (USA). Peanut seeds are a rich source of oil content (50.45 to 52.12 g 100 g−1 dry weight “DW”). The physicochemical properties of extracted oil were investigated in this study. The obtained data showed that the ratios of saturated fatty acids ranged from 14.24 to 17.23%, and the amounts of unsaturated fatty acids ranged from 82.77 to 85.76%. Significant variations (p ≤ 0.05) of oil content, saponification value, oleic/linoleic (O/L), and oil characteristics were found. Line 9 was found to be high in oil content, while Line 27r was said to have a high O/L ratio (3.22%) and proportion of unsaturated fatty acids (85.76%).
