Quantitation of Fatty Acids by GLC and Separation of Omega-6 Nutraceutical Fatty Acid From Carthamus tinctorius L. Seed Oil Cultivated in Pakistan
Keywords:
: Carthamus tinctorius, linoleic acid, omega-6 fatty acidsAbstract
. The GLC analysis of Carthamus tinctorius (safflower) yielded average hexane extracted oil content of 28% (25-30%); the oil contained high level of linoleic acid (74%). Monounsaturated fatty acid, oleic acid amounted 12.94%, while the saturated fatty acids like palmitic acid and stearic acid were 9.43 and 1.81%, respectively. Iodine value of linoleic acid was found to be 160.1 while its purity was 93.1%.
