The research aimed to assess the physicochemical properties, essential metals, and fatty acid compositions of groundnut and linseed in Kamba district.
Analyzed the physicochemical properties of groundnut and linseed samples including saponification and acid values.
Measured the levels of essential minerals in both oilseed crops.
Conducted principal component analysis (PCA) to identify significant quality characteristics.
Groundnut had the highest saponification value of 188.4 mgKOH/g while linseed had a value of 191.67 mgKOH/g.
Main fatty acid in groundnut oil was oleic acid (59.4%), whereas linolenic acid (65.1%) dominated in linseed oil.
Most physicochemical quality parameters were within acceptable ranges, supporting their quality for consumption.
