Abstract
The content of seed oil of radish, watercress and celery extracted with hexane and determination of percentages of fatty acids was investigated using TLC chromatography and GC-Mass gas chromatography. Results showed that plant seeds contain the following compounds: Eruca sativa : Palmitic acid, methyl ester, Stearic acid, methyl ester, Methyl 18-methylnonadecanoate, Erucic acid, Tricosanoic acid, methyl ester, 15-Tetracosenoic acid, methyl ester, Tetracosanoic acid, methyl ester. Radish: Palmitic acid, methyl ester, Stearic acid, methyl ester, Linolenic acid, ethyl ester, Methyl 18-methylnonadecanoate, Behenic acid, methyl ester, Ethyl 13-docosenoate, 15-Tetracosenoic acid, methyl ester, Tetracosanoic acid, methyl ester. Celery: Eudesma-4(14),11-diene, 1-Propanone, 2-chloro-1-(2,4 dimethylphenyl)-2-methyl, Phenol, 4-(2-aminoethy), Palmitic acid, methyl ester, Stearic acid, methyl ester,Oleic acid, ethyl ester.
