Study of the chemical composition of seed and seed oil of cichorium intybus L.
Seeds from Cichorium intybus L. harvested at Olavarría (Buenos Aires, Argentine) were defatted with petroleum ether (60°-80°) and the raw oil obtained with a yield of 13.3% dry basis. The crude oil was examined in their physicochemical characteristics had refractive index of 1.4576 (at 25°), iodine...

| Sumario: | Seeds from Cichorium intybus L. harvested at Olavarría (Buenos Aires, Argentine) were defatted with petroleum ether (60°-80°) and the raw oil obtained with a yield of 13.3% dry basis. The crude oil was examined in their physicochemical characteristics had refractive index of 1.4576 (at 25°), iodine value of 124.3, saponification index of 191,4, unsaponifiable matter of 5.3 % and free fatty acid content of 6.0 (mg KOH/g). Gas chromatographic analysis of the oil revealed high levels of linoleic acid (59.8%), nearly 21% of saturated acids. The residual seed meal contained 16.9% of crude protein, with a low value of available lysine (1.37g/16 g N). Total and phytic acid phosphorous, calcium, ash, crude fiber, sugar, polisaccharides (non presence of starch) and residual lipids contents are reported. |
