The seed and tuber oil content (%) and fatty acid compositions were determined. The oil contents of the seeds and tubers were 2.89/100 g and 0.86/100 g, respectively. Among the fatty acids for seeds, linoleic acid (18:2n6) was the most abundant (25.01%), followed by oleic acid (18:1n9, 14.45%), palmitoleic acid (16:1, 11.6%), and palmitic acid (16:0, 10.28%). In addition, among the fatty acids for tubers, linoleic acid (18:2n6c) was the most abundant (26.22%), followed by palmitic acid (23.42%, 16:0), oleic acid (16.78%, 18:1n9), and myristic acid (7.05%, 14:0). The total percentages of the saturated and unsaturated fatty acids identified in our examined oils were 14.17 and 55.89% for seed and 44.71 and 45.87% for tubers, respectively. In conclusion, the seed and tuber oil of Eminium rauwolffii (Blume) Schott var. rauwolffii is richer in unsaturated fatty acids compared with saturated fatty acids.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessArticle3212849241611
