Oil analysis in seeds of Salicornia brachiata

Abstract

Oil analysis in seeds of Salicornia brachiata was carried out in the current study. Hexane extraction yielded maximum oil content from seeds (22.4%). High ester (538.32 mg/g) and saponification (547.52 mg/g) suggest a potential for industrial use of the oil.
