- Description
- The physico-chemical characteristics, fatty acid composition and antioxidant capacities of Artemisia pallens seed oil were determined in this study. The moisture, oil content, fatty acid, iodine, peroxide, saponification values, specific gravity and refractive index were 4.13 %, 25.53 %, 1.84 % (as oleic acid), 138.14 (mg/ l00 g), 10.20 (meqO2/kg oil), 194.21 (mg KOH/g oil) 0.92 and 1.47, respectively. Linoleic acid (C18:2, 79.963 %), oleic acid (C18:1, 9.40 %) and palmitic acid (C16:0, 7.89 %) were the major fatty acids. High amount of total unsaturated fatty acids (89.74 %) make it highly desirable as a source of nutrition. The antioxidant capacities of the seed oil showed that it can be a source for natural antioxidants and functional food. The results of the present study showed that the A. pallens is a promising seed oil crop and can be used for making of soaps, shampoos and alkyd resins. Further, the high amount of polyunsaturated fatty acid i.e. linoleic acid makes it desirable in terms of nutrition. 2019, 2019 Har Krishan Bhalla & Sons.
