Seeds from Cichorium intybus L harvested at Olavarria (Buenos Aires, Argentine) were defatted with petroleum ether (60°-80°) and the raw oil obtained with a yield of 13.3% dry basis. The crude oil was examind in their physicochemical characteristics had refractive index of 1.4576 (at 25°), iodine value of 124.3, saponification index of 191,4, unsaponifiable matter of 5.3 % and free fatty acid content of 6.0 (mg KOH/g). Analyse chromatographique du gaz de l'huile révélée à haut niveau d'acide linoléique (59,8 %), tout juste 21 % d'acides saturés. The residual meal contained 16.9% of crude protein, with a low value of available lysine (1.37g/16 g N). Total and phytic acid phosphorous, calcium, ash, crude fiber, sugar, polysaccharides (non presence of starch) and residual lipids contents are reported.

Gas chromatographic analysis of the oil revealed high levels of linoleic acid (59.8%), nearly 21% of saturated acids. The residual seed meal contained 16.9% of crude protein, with a low value of available lysine (1.37g/16 g N).

تم إزالة الدهون من بذور Cichorium intybus L التي تم حصادها في أولافاريا (بوينس آيرس، الأرجنتين) باستخدام الأثير النفطي (60درجة-80درجة) وتم الحصول على الزيت الخام بعائد جاف بنسبة 13.3 ٪. تم فحص النفط الخام في خصائصه الفيزيائية والكيميائية بمؤشر انكسار 1.4576 (عند 25درجة)، وقيمة اليود 124.3، ومؤشر التصبن 191.4، والمادة غير القابلة للتصبن 5.3 ٪ ومحتوى الأحماض الدهنية الحرة 6.0 (ملغ KOH/جم). كشف التحليل الكروماتوغرافي للغاز للزيت عن مستويات عالية من حمض اللينوليك (59.8 ٪)، ما يقرب من 21 ٪ من الأحماض المشبعة. احتوت وجبة البذور المتبقية على 16.9 ٪ من البروتين الخام، مع قيمة منخفضة من اللايسين المتاح (1.37جم/16 جم نيوتن). تم الإبلاغ عن إجمالي الفوسفور والكالسيوم والرماد والألياف الخام والسكر والسكريات (عدم وجود النشا) ومحتويات الدهون المتبقية.
