| Abstract | ||||
| Chemical composition of borage (Borago Officinalis ) seeds were determined and the results revaled the percentage of moisture , ash , crude protein , crude lipids , crude fiber were 3.9 ,15.9 ,22.8 , 30 ,and 4.3 % .Also seeds contain low content of total phenols 0.4 % . At the same time seeds contain total hydrolysable carbohydrate of 21.4 %. Crude oil was extracted from seeds and fractonted by gas liquid chromatography (GLC ) and found that it has high amount from unsaturated fatty acids and low content from satureted one,s. Also, constantse of oil were determined and found that oil has high value of iodine and saponification , low value of acid and peroxide value. | ||||
