Biochemical analysis of Brassica genotypes was necessary for determination of quality seed and high yielding genotypes. For this purpose, twelve Brassica viz. Wester, Ganyou-5, Rainbow, Oscar, Vangard, Crusher, Torch, Legend, Altex, Raya Anmol, Peela Raya and T-16-401 were evaluated for biochemical quality parameters i.e. oil, protein, glucosinolates, moisture, oleic acid, linolenic acid and erucic acid during 2006-07 at the Research Farm of Agricultural University, Peshawar, Pakistan. Highest oil content was found in Oscar (52.10%) and lowest in T-16-401 (42.73%). Protein content was highest in T-16-401 (25.12%) and lowest in Vangard (20.38%). Lowest glucosinolates (67.35 mum g-1) were found in Rainbow and highest in T-16-401 (132.7 mum g-1). Oscar had highest moisture contents (7.09%) and Peela Raya Lowest (4.5%). Oleic acid was highest in Wester (54.74%) and lowest in Peela Raya (29.93%). Linolenic acid was lowest in Wester (7.65%) and highest in Raya Anmol (12.8%). Crusher had the lowest amount (36.44%) of erucic acid whereas Raya Anmol had the highest (52.2%). Rainbow was found best for oil (%), protein (%), glucosinolates (mum g-1), moisture (%), oleic acid (%), linolenic acid (%), and erucic acid (%) with values 50.46, 21.19, 67.35, 6.84, 52.48, 8.75 and 36.53, respectively.
