Abstract

A method is described for the routine estimation of oil content and composition in seed crops by determination of the total and component long‐chain fatty acids. The oil was transmethylated without prior extraction using 2% H~2~SO~4~ in methanol at 80Β°C and the resultant fatty acid methyl esters separated and measured by gas‐liquid chromatography. The method was shown to be applicable to a wide range of samples including field beans, cereals and linseed, and for use with individual seeds or very small samples (e.g. half seeds). Results obtained with this method were highly reproducible, giving good recoveries of oil and individual fatty acids. The method gave values intermediate between those obtained by ether extraction and acid hydrolysis methods.

## Abstract A field experiment was conducted to study the effect of nitrogen fertility level on the content and composition of oil, essential oil and minerals in black cumin (__Nigella sativa__ L.) seeds. Sixty‐three‐day‐old plants were supplied with varying levels of N, i.e., 0, 30, 60, and 90 kg
