Abstract

In a number of groundnut genotypes oleic acid content ranged from 36-69% and linoleic acid content ranged from 14-40%. Some showed differences in stability of the oil not accountable to differences in linoleic acid content. Higher contents of linoleic acid were found in 16 wild Arachis species. A. villosulicarpa had a 49% linoleic acid content and 21% very long-chain fatty acids
