Ls. Malec et al., SEEDS OF ROSA-RUBIGINOSA L CHEMICAL-COMPO SITION OF SEED OIL AND RESIDUAL SEED MEAL, Anales de la Asociacion Quimica Argentina, 81(6), 1993, pp. 445-450
The chemical composition of the seed oil and residual seed meal of Ros
a rubiginosa L. (<<rosa mosqueta>>) harvested at El Bolson (Chubut, Ar
gentina) was analyzed. Iodine Number of the drying oil is 172,7, havin
g high content of linolenic acid (31,4% of total acids). Sitosterol is
the main component of the sterol fraction. Residual seed meal is rich
in crude fiber (56,6%) and polysaccarides (18,4%) and poor in protein
s (9,75%), which ha ve low reactive lysine content.
