✦ Synopsis

Changes in the proximate composition of developing seeds of sandalwood (Santalum spicatum R Br) were quantiÐed. The developing fruits were collected regularly over a period of 5 months commencing 14 days after Γ‘ower opening. Rapid deposition of seed lipid began at about 91 days after Γ‘owering (DAF) at a level of 4 g kg~1 and continued to about 396 g kg~1 at 147 DAF. Protein and ash contents displayed similar trends to that of lipid with a corresponding decrease in moisture content. Fatty acid analysis of the seed oil demonstrated marked changes in composition during seed development. In particular, major increases in oleic and ximenynic acids were noted with corresponding decreases in the other fatty acids.

## Abstract The oil content of the seeds of white mustard (__Sinapis alba__) was determined 3 weeks after flowering and at weekly intervals until seeds were matured. Examination of the lipid classes by quantitative t.l.c. showed that triglycerides were the major components at all stages and were ac
