The lipid fraction of TP showed a high degree of unsaturation; in particular,
linoleic acid (LA, C18:2n − 6) was the major unsaturated FA
followed by oleic acid (OA, C18:1n − 9), as also reported by
Cantarelli, Regitano-d'Arce, and Palma (1993) in tomato seed oil. Similar
LA content (55% of total FA) was found by Lazos and Kalathenos
(1988) in tomato processing wastes. Cámara, Del Valle, Torija, and
