    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To analyze the oil contents and fatty acid composition in the seeds of Torrreya in China. METHOD: The contents and composition were determined by gravimetric analysis and GC respectively. RESULT: The oil contents in the seeds were 42.67%-54.39%. Among the fatty acids, linoleic acid and oleic acid were dominant. The unsaturated fatty acids accounted for 76.1%-82.0% of the whole fatty acids, and the major saturated fatty acids were behenic acid and palmitic acid. CONCLUSION: The oil in the seeds of Torreya is of high-quality, and the higher contents of bdhenic acid are characteristic for the oil. The development and utilization values of the seed oil in Torreya are evaluated.
