Abstract

Niger (Guizotia abyssinica (L.f) Cass) germplasm from 800 accessions were analysed for oil and quality parameters. Significant variation was found among genotypes. The oil content ranged from 15.73% to 49.64%. Palmitic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid and linolenic acid were detected in the analysed samples. Linolenic acid was the predominant fatty acid.
