Abstract
ABSTRACTPapaya seeds, which constitute 22% of the waste product from the papaya puree industry in Hawaii, were characterized in a preliminary study to evaluate their possible utilization. Oil was extracted from the seeds, and its fatty acid composition determined. Crude protein and crude fiber contents of the defatted meal were especially high, 40.0% and 48.9%. Benzylisothiocyanate content in the seed oil was 0.56% (w/w), and the benzylglucosinolate content in the seed meal was 1.0 (w/w).
