Abstract
The physicochemical characteristics of oils and nutrient contents of the seeds of three varieties of Cucumis sativus namely, Shahi-50, Naogaon-5 and Naogaon-Green, have been reported. Profile of fatty acid composition was not wholly similar in all varieties and unsaturated fatty acids were more than 77%, of which linoleic acid was 61.9-62.2%. High degree of unsaturauon was indicated with lower peroxide value (3.7-4.2) and FFA (1.1-1.6%). Triacylglycerols and neutral lipids were the most abounded components recorded as 82.1-83.7% and 92.1-94.0%, respectively. The seeds contained potentially useful amounts of lipid (28.0-31.1%) and protein (14.8-15.9%) and other nutrients.
