Özet The oil content of seeds ranged from 14.4 [sumac (Rhus coriaria) Siirt] % to 49 (Californium) % of the dry weight. The fatty acid composition of each rape and canola seed oils have the typical fatty acid composition for conventional rape and canola seed including 3.7-24.3% of palmitic acid in addition to stearic acid (1.4-5.7%), oleic acid (11.5-61.5%), linoleic acid (16.7-75%) and linolenic acid (0.1-9.9%) as main components. The total fatty acids compositions of seed oils varied between 95.3% (Sunflower Aydin202) to 99.9% (Smart). As shown, the major tocopherol in the seed oils of rape and canola cultivars were a-tocopherol (3.4-56.3%) and γ-tocopherol (0.2-32.7%) accompained by α-tocotrienol (0.0-4.8%) and p8 (0.0-2.9%).
