ABSTRACT:The physicochemical properties and fatty acid composition of Linum usitatissimum L. and Nigella sativa L. seeds oil were investigated. The oil was extracted in a soxhlet apparatus using hexane and evaluated for acid value, iodine value, peroxide value saponification values, reflective index and moisture content. The oil was also analyzed for different element viz. silver (Ag), aluminum (Al) boron (B), barium (Ba), bismuth (Bi), calcium (Ca), cadmium (Cd), cobalt (Co), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), potassium (K), lithium (Li), manganese (Mn), sodium (Na), Nickel (Ni), lead (Pb),...

The physicochemical properties and fatty acid composition of Argemone mexicana L. and Celastrus paniculatus Willd. seeds oil were investigated. The oil was extracted and evaluated for different physicochemicals properties and elemental analysis by ICPMS. The fatty acid profile of the oil was determined by GC-MS. The physicochemical analysis of Darudi oil showed less values viz. acid and iodine value as compared to Malkangni oil. The different elemental analysis showed that gold and silver like important elements were found in both the oils at different levels. The Ca, Na, K like elements were...
