Abstract
⺠Citrillus colocynthis seeds contain 23.12% of oil which is mainly composed of linoleic and oleic fatty acids. ⺠The tocopherol content of C. colocynthis was 121.85 mg/100 g and γ-tocopherol was the major one. ⺠C. colocynthis oil was thermally stable up to 286.57 °C and showed four decomposition stages at high temperature. ⺠C. colocynthis oil can supplement or replace some of the conventional oils such as sunflower oil. ⺠C. colocynthis oil can be used for food and non-food applications.
