Short note - Comparative analysis of physicochemical characteristics and fatty acid composition of seeds of black cumin, poppy, safflower and sesame

摘要

Oilseeds, their major constituents such as fats, proteins and carbohydrates, are the main source of raw materials and have a potential application as ingredients for nutraceuticals and functional foods. We determined and compared the physico-chemical characteristics and fatty acid profile of black cumin seeds, poppy seeds, safflower and sesame.
