NIGER (GUIZOTIA ABYSSINICA): AN OVERVIEW IJPCBS

Niger Seed Oil-Based Biodiesel Production

  • Does extraction solvent affect oil and bioactives composition of Niger seeds?
  • Commercially available niger (Guizotia abyssinica (L.f.) Cass.) seed was investigated to evaluate the effect of extraction solvent on oil and bioactives composition. For this purpose, niger seeds were subjected to solvent extraction using solvents of different polarity, viz., hexane, petroleum ether, chloroform, acetone, methanol and ethanol.
  • What is the difference between Niger seed oil and Indian seed oil?
  • Niger seed oil, like sunflower and safflower oils, contains high content of omega-6 PUFA i.e. linoleic acid (63-75%).8 The Ethiopian seed contains about 40% oil with fatty acid composition of 75-80% linoleic acid, 7-8% palmitic and stearic acids, 5-8% oleic acid. The Indian types contain 25% oleic, 55% linoleic acids.1
  • What is niger seed?
  • Niger seed ( Guizotia abyssinica Cass.) is an oil seed crop found in Ethiopia and India where it is widely produced making the two countries the main producers in the world ( Getinet and Sharma, 1996, Ramadan, 2012 ).
  • How many phenolics are in Niger seed oil?
  • The total phenolics in niger seed oil ranged from 247 to 2264.7 ppm depending on the extraction method ( Bhatnagar & Gopalanakrishna, 2013 ). Total phenolics content of 2266.2 ppm was reported for niger seed oil whereas the total phenolics for niger seed cake was found to be 2545.5 ppm ( Bhatnagar & Gopalakrishna, 2015 ).
