Özet

The physiochemical properties and fatty acid (FA) composition of oil from seeds of four desi chickpea cultivars, grown in Pakistan, were investigated. The oil content was relatively low (5.88-6.87%). The physiochemical parameters determined included refractive indices (RI) at 40 °C (1.48-1.49), relative density (0.95-0.96), iodine value (IV) (111.87-113.69), acid value (AV) (2.55-2.73 mg KOH/g), saponification value (SV) (183.98-185.64 mg KOH/g), unsaponifiable matter (UM) (2.99-3.71%), peroxide value (PV) (3.97-6.37 mequiv/Kg), p-anisidine value (p-AV) (5.39-8.74), and oxidation value (OV) (13.67-22.34). Linoleic acid and oleic acid were the dominant FAs. Results from most of the parameters revealed significant (P < 0.05) differences among the cultivars. The findings reveal Desi chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.), indigenous to Pakistan, to be a potentially valuable legume crop with comparable nutritional quality oil. © 2007 AOCS.
