✦ Synopsis
m a d K h a n * The physico-chemical properties of two species of Bauhinia seed oils (Bauhinia variegata and Bauhiniamalabarica, N. 0. Leguminoseae) were investigated. The amounts of oil extracted from both seeds were 16%. Fatty Acid composition as determined by GLC for Bauhinia variegata and Bauhinia malabarica revealed the presence of linolenic (0.55 O/o, 0.810/0), Linoleic (36.84 "In, 47.26 Vn) oleic (26.14 Vo, 15.26 %), stearic (16.95 ' Yo, 1929 Oh), palmitic (19..52Vo, 17.1So/a) and myristic (traces,0.20%) acids respectively. It has been observed that the seed variety influences to a great extent the distribution offatty acidsin theseedsoi1,Theresidualmealaftertheextractionofoilcontains 41 O h and 25 %I protein in Bauhinia variegata and Bauhinia malabarica respectively.
