  • What is niger seed oil?
  • Niger ( Guizotia abyssinica Cass.) seed oil plays an important role in human nutrition and health because of its fatty acid composition and its high levels of fat-soluble bioactive components. The oil has an attractive pale yellow color and a nutty taste. With high levels of linoleic acid, it is very similar to sunflower and safflower oils.‌
  • Why is niger seed oil low RSA?
  • The low RSA of niger seed oil could be partly explained by the fact that niger seed oil has a high level of PUFA. Although, the amounts of tocopherols in niger seed oil were higher than other vegetable oils, no correlation was noted between RSA and the levels of tocopherols in oils.‌
  • Did Mozambique import crude oil?
  • Mozambique did not import crude oil. Oil accounts for the second largest share of CO2 emissions globally, primarily in the transport sector where, despite recent exponential growth in EV sales, the vast majority of cars, trucks, ships and aircraft are still powered by oil-based fuels burned in internal combustion engines.‌
  • Is mechanical extraction better than solvent extraction for Niger seed oil?
  • The (PV) for mechanically extracted and solvent extracted niger seed oil was 2.60 and 4.20g of meqO2/kg oil respectively. It reveals that the mechanical extraction is better for yielding good quality oil due to mild operational conditions . The results of peroxide value are in accordance with (IS-3490) .‌
  • What is the fatty acid composition of Niger seed oil?
  • Niger seed oil has a fatty acid composition typical for seed oils of the Compositae family (e.g., safflower and sunflower), with linoleic acid as the dominant fatty acid. The fatty acid composition of niger seed oil typically 7–8% palmitic and stearic acids, 5–25% oleic acid, and 55–80% linoleic acid (Getinet & Teklewold, 1995 ).‌
  • Are Niger seeds high in campesterol?
  • In the Indian samples, the campesterol content (and to a lesser extent the percentages of β-sitosterol and Δ5-avenasterol) was significantly different in niger seeds grown in various regions. Numerous published results exist on sterols of some other oils of the Compositae family (e.g., sunflower and safflower).
