Gas chromatographic analysis on fatty acids of pumpkin seed oil of “Spanish 73” varieties
Abstract
In this work, the fatty acid composition of pumpkin seed oil of the Spanish 73 variety was studied by gas chromatography. The main physical and chemical parameters of pumpkin seed oil obtained from the seeds of the variety “Spanish 73” by extraction with hexane have been established. It was revealed that pumpkin oil “Spanish 73” mainly consisted of such unsaturated fatty acids as linoleic (54.027±2.729) and oleic (18.107±1.139). The total content of unsaturated fatty acids is 73.292±3.725 of the total content of fatty acids, which is a source of useful fatty acids.
