Abstract: | Summary Some physicochemical characteristics of the seed oils of five species of plants of the family Rosaceae have been studied, confirming the information on the fatty-acid compositions of these oils that we obtained by the GLC, TLC, and PC methods. It has been shown that a high content of linolenic acid is characteristic for each of the five seed oils of herbaceous plants of this family.Institute of the Chemistry of Plant Substances, Academy of Sciences of the Uzbek SSR, Tashkent.
