The C. sativum seed EO (CSEO) is triglyceride oil; petroselinic
acid, a monounsaturated fatty acid, is the major fatty acid
in CSEO. Thus, the plant is a potential source of lipids (rich in
petroselinic acid) and EO (high in linalool) isolated from the
seeds and the aerial parts. Ganesan et al. [8] reported that
matured coriander leaves are rich in moisture (87.9%), protein
(3.3%), carbohydrate (total sugar 6.5%) and total ash (1.7%).
