Abstract
We found out the following fact as the results of our study of buck wheat. Buck wheat contains 3.08% crude fat and this is semi-drying oil (iodine value 102.08) and closely approaches to drying oil. This oil is composed of about 18% solid fatty acids and about 79% liquid fatty acids. Solid fatty acids consist of palmitic acid, carnaubic acid, and fatty acids higher than C18 acid. Liquid fatty acids consist of oleic acid and linolic acid. It seems, in short, that the fatty acids composing the fat of buck wheat consist of about 55% oleic acid, 20% linolic acid, and 13% palmitic acid, and the rest consists of carnaubic acid and saturated fatty acids higher than C18.
