Abstract
Abstract Seeds from 37 species of plants in the family Cruciferae were analyzed for oil and protein, and the fatty acid composition of the oils was determined by gas‐liquid chromatography. Erucic acid, generally considered characteristic of crucifer oils, occurs in about three‐fourths of these species in amounts ranging from 3 to 59%. Some oils free of erucic acid contain up to 63% linolenic acid or up to 58% eicosenoic.
