Abstract

AbstractThe lipid constituents, free fatty acids, triglycerides, sterol esters and free sterols of 11 cultivars of tobacco from Argentina were investigated by gas‐liquid chromatography. Palmitic, oleic and linoleic acids were the major components in all fractions studied. Sitosterol was the main component of the free sterol and sterol ester fractions. Oil and protein contents, as well as some physicochemical characteristics of the oils, are also reported.
