| Abstract | ||
| This study concerns the estimation of the lipid composition and some chemical components using GC-Ms in fenugreek seed. Fenugreek seeds are rich in protein (24.6%), fat (7.9%), total fiber (5.76%), and also contains high concentrations of minerals (Ca, P, Mg, Fe and Zn ) in addition to other minerals like (Cu, Mn, Na, K and Cr) at low concentrations. The unsaturated acid linoleic and olic acid were found in the seeds oil, also saturated fatty acid palmitic and steric acid were detected and the results showed that the percentage of unsaturated and saturated acids were 83% and 17% respectively. | ||
