FA and tocopherol composition of Vietnamese oilseeds

Abstract Seeds of 40 oilseed species from 23 different plant families (Brassicaceae, Cucurbitaceae, Fabaceae, Sapindaceae, Malvaceae, Gnetaceae, Clusiaceae, Bruseraceae, Ranunculaceae, Convolvulaceae, Amaranthaceae, Tiliaceae, Basellaceae, Solanaceae, Umbelliferae, Labiatae, Compositae, Theaceae, Euphorbiaceae, Caesalpiniaceae, Sapotaceae, Anacardiaceae, and Connaraceae) grown in Vietnam were analyzed for oilseed oil content, FA, and vitamin E. The seed oil content varied between 0.2 g/100 g for Mangifera indica and 75.7 g/100 g for Calophyllum inophyllum , whereas only nine seeds contained more than 40% oil. The tocopherol content ranged from 26 ( Sapindus mukorossi ) to 9361 mg/kg ( Litchi chinensis ). In nine seed oils unusual FA such as conjugated, cyclopropenoic, or epoxy FA were found.
