Wild almond (amygdalus nana l.) Oil physical and chemical indicators, fatty acids and the study of element components
Abstract
The wild almond (Amygdalus nana L.) seeds from the Nurota district in the Navoi region of the mountains have been used, and the extraction of the seed oil was established using the cold-pressing method. The main physical-chemical indicators of the oil were defined. The composition of the oil, including the induction of the oil and argon plasma emissions, as well as the fatty acid components, were studied using chromatographic and spectrometric methods, and elemental analysis was carried out. The macroelements (Ca, Na, Al, P, K) and micronutrients (Fe, Cu, Zn, Se, Mn, Co, Ni) present in the oil composition were determined. Additionally, a microbiological purity assessment and a quantitative analysis of the heavy metals present in the oil content were conducted.
