Abstract

In the present work, seeds from twelve genotypes of sunflower were studied. After the oil extraction they were subjected to physical-chemical characterization and their oil percentage was determined. The decorticated seeds presented higher oil percentage than the whole seeds. The values found for refractions index, iodine and saponification were in agreement to the range found by other researchers.
