Abstract
Groundnuts fro m 16 Arachis hypogaea L. cultivars were fo u n d to contain oil in the range o f 43 to 507o. Gas-liquid chrom atographic analysis o f the oil fa tty acid m e th y l esters revealed the occurrence of palm itic (12.22 to 13.30 ) stearic (3 .1 7 to 3.67 ) oleic (37.94 to 41.90 ) linoleic (3 4 .5 9 to 37.51 ) arachidic (1.63 to 1.85 ) eicosaenoic (0.99 to 1.22) behenic (3.24 to 4.36) and lignoceric (1.08 to 1.44) as the major fatty acids. Cultivars Tainang 7 Kidang and Alabama were high in oil content and contained relatively low levels o f behenic acid and a high oleic/linoleic acid ratio in their oil.
