Abstract

Tree borne oilseeds which have been discussed and advocated at various levels, are important sources of edible and non-edible oils. Fatty oil from Garuga pinnata seeds has been found to be rich in oleic acid C18:1 (n-9), 36.14%; and an unusual fatty acid C18:1 (n-12), 34.93%, whereas the fatty oil from Prunus cornuta has been found to be rich in oleic acid (46.26%) and palmitoleic acid (17.05%), hence these oils may find their utility as a source of these acids. This is the first report on these seed oils.
