Abstract :Crude lipid has become one of the most significant demands of nations in recent years, oil crops and their lipid yield are becoming more and more vital. The composition of fatty acids reveals the caliber of oil crops. This study aims to determine and compare the oil content and fatty acid compositions of S. arvensis, B. nigra, B. napus, S. alba and C. sativa plants. It was determined that the oil ratios of the samples belonging to the B.nigra species varied between 27.132% and 29.350%, and the oil ratios of the samples belonging to the S. arvensis species varied between 27.495% and 28.855%. It was determined that the oil ratios of the samples belonging to the B.nigra species varied between 27.132% and 29.350%, and the oil ratios of the samples belonging to the S. arvensis species varied between 27.495% and 28.855%. Erucic acid value was determined to be highest in S. arvensis species, oleic and linoleic acids in B. napus, and linolenic acid in C. sativa. The data obtained showed that the oil ratios and fatty acid compositions of S. arvensis and B. nigra were very close to the values obtained from B. napus, S. alba and C. sativa, which were used as standards and grown as cultivated plants in this study. This suggests that the wild plants S. arvensis and B. nigra have the potential to be cultivated.
