Abstract

Unsaponifiable matter was extracted from seed oils of niger, sesame, sunflower, coconut, mustard, soybean, groundnut, linseed, castor, safflower, mahua, taramira, argemone, jatropha, tea, rubber, palm, and palm olein oil by alkali treatment. Chloroform solutions of these samples were spotted on TLC plates which had been irrigated by mixtures of benzene:ethyl alcohol (94:6 v/v) and benzene:ethylacetate (2:1 v/v). The former solvent system was found to be better than the latter. Components observed at HRf 43 for mahua, 46 for rubber, 63, 68, 89, 94 for tea and 49 for taramira seed oils were absent in all the 11 edible oils, showing the possibility of their detection in case of chance contamination and/or intentional adulteration. Some components of the samples were characterized as beta-sitosterol and beta-carotene.
