industries but a proper utilization of these waste products
could lead to an important new source of oil, nutraceuticals
and meal thereby limiting the problem of disposal. Seed
oils from the seed of edible fruits are important common
food ingredients and growing evidence has suggested
that individual fatty acids from seeds may play different
roles in human health especially in acute and chronic
diseases management. Diets rich in specific fatty acid
may provide potential prevention of a number of health
problems or diseases. F or instance, omega- 3 ( n- 3 )
unsaturated fatty acids have been suggested to possess
health benefits which include the prevention of cancer,
heart diseases, hypertension, and autoimmune disorders[4].
Currently, consumer’s growing interest in improving their
dietary nutrition is driving the development of novel
seed oils having unique fatty acid profiles and other
beneficial components, including phytosterols and natural
antioxidants[
