On evaluation of oils of two spineless varieties of Carthamus tinctorius, Thori-78 and Pawari-95 growing in Sindh, Pakistan, the quality of the oil was found to be similar, only the oil content differed. The hexane-extracted oil content of Thori-78 and Pawari-95 was 28.33 plus minus 1.15 and 33.07 plus minus 1.12, respectively. The oils contained 90.97% and 89.55% unsaturated fatty acids and 8.44% and 9.69%, saturated fatty acids, respectively. Linoleic acid was 75.42 plus minus 0.59% and 76.40 plus minus 1.0% and oleic acid was 15.55 plus minus 0.30% and 13.15 plus minus 0.49% by weight, respectively, and were the predominant fatty acids present in the oil.
