Chemical studies of the oil from pistacia nuts growing wild in Iran
Large populations of Pistacia grow wild in dif‐ferent parts of Iran. The fruits of two species, namely,Pistacia atlantica Subsp.mutica andP. atlantica Subsp.kurdica are consumed by the natives because of the high content of oil in kernels and outer skin layers. The kernels of both species are rich i...

| Zusammenfassung: | Large populations of Pistacia grow wild in dif‐ferent parts of Iran. The fruits of two species, namely,Pistacia atlantica Subsp.mutica andP. atlantica Subsp.kurdica are consumed by the natives because of the high content of oil in kernels and outer skin layers. The kernels of both species are rich in oil (over 50%), and the oil content in the outer skin layer ofP. atlantica Subsp.kurdica is 63% and in the other variety 30%. Unsaponifiable matter and fatty acid compositions of the oils were determined and the results compared with the oil fromPistacia vera L. |
