Abstract

Effect of cultivars and row spacing (RS) on tocopherol and sterol composition of chickpea oil from chickpea, grown under semi-arid conditions of Thal, Pakistan has been studied. The tocopherol and sterol contents were significantly affected by cultivars during 2005 and 2006 (P<0.05). Among sterols; campesterol, Δ5-avenasterol, stigmasterol, Δ7-avenasterol, and clerosterol were significantly affected by cultivars while β-sitosterol did not differ significantly. Tocopherols, including α-, γ-and total tocopherol contents were not significantly affected by cultivars but ß-and δ-tocopherols differed statistically among cultivars CM 72, Bittal 98, Punjab 91 and Punjab 2000. The results of present study showed that seed oil constituents significantly varied among chickpea cultivars.
