Abstract
Lipid contents of the seeds examined (dry weight basis) were 11.2% for ''Neuland'', 11.9% for ''WB2'' and 6.3% for ''Weiko III''. Minor proportions of erucic acid (mean 1.4%) were detected in all samples. Wide differences were observed in the content of linoleic acid which was 12.6% in ''Neuland'', 15.6% in ''WB2'' and 47.0% in ''Weiko III''. These variations were complemented largely by differences in the level of oleic acid. Results of analyses were compared with those earlier obtained for L. angustifolius cv. ''Uniwhite''.
