“…The total protein content (17.2 % DWB) of olive seeds compares well with those reported in some cereal grains, for example rice (average protein content 10.1 % DWB), corn (10.3 %), sorghum (12.3 %) and wheat (13.4 %) (Primo Yúfera 1998). Compared with oilbearing seeds, it results lower than whole-seed meals from cultivated rapeseed and sunflower, which ranges between 23 -24 % and 26 -34 %, respectively (Park et al 1997;Wanasundara 2011).…”

Nutritional profile and nutraceutical components of olive (Olea europaea L.) seeds Research highlights Olive seeds are a good source of macronutrients and nutraceutical components Olive seed oil provides a complete and well-balanced fatty acid composition Olive seed proteins are rich in essential amino acids (46 % of the total AA content) Olive seeds also contain high amounts of fibre, phenolics and essential minerals Olive seeds have potential value for production of oil, proteins and feed supplements

“…The oil content found in dehulled seeds in sunflower germplasm (Table 3) resulted similar to those found by Fernández-Cuesta et al (2012) in confectionery-type sunflowers showing values within 49.4 to 54.2 %. The total protein content of sunflower seeds measured in this study was 28.60 g/100g DWB, which, compared with oilbearing seeds, was higher than whole-seed meal from cultivated rapeseed (23-24 %) and similar to conventional sunflower, which ranges between 26-34 % (Park et al, 1997;Wanasundara, 2011). Seed protein content is one of the indicators of confectionery sunflower seed quality.…”

Argentina is the world's leading exporter of confectionery sunflower. This work characterized the morphometric and nutritional composition of sunflower seeds from new confectionery genotypes. Average morphometric variables per seed were: weight 0.11 and 0.06 g with and without achene, respectively; length 15.2 mm; and width 8.50 mm, with most calibers greater than 9.51 mm. Proximate analysis indicated that seeds without shell were an important source of lipids (49 %), as well as proteins (28 %), carbohydrates (11 %), and minerals (4.8 % ashes). Fatty acid composition showed that polyunsaturated fatty acids were the major components (56 %), followed by monounsaturated ones (34 %), and saturated ones (11 %). The mid-oleic genotype developed by INTA showed significantly greater oleic acid (47 %) and lower linoleic acid (42 %) than the commercial hybrid. Proteic composition showed 33 % of essential amino acids (EAA) while fiber and sugars represented 3.9 % and 7.3 % respectively; macroelements such as K, Mg and Ca, and microelements such as Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn, Se, Co, Mo and Na. New confectionery sunflower hybrids developed by INTA stand out for their high quality in edible oil, proteins and essential components, all very valuable for the food industry.
