Abstract
Seed lipid components of Solanum argentinum are reported. The principa l fatty acids are linoleic, oleic, and palmitic acids. Hentriacontane, tritriacontane, and pentatriacontane are the predominant alkanes. The sterol composition shows higher percentages of beta-sitosterol and st igmasterol. The yields of seeds and oils show S. argentinum to be a po tentially valuable oilseed plant.
