Abstrakt: Fatty acid compositions of the seed oils from eighteen vareties of amaranthus species have been determined after room temperature transesterification. Consistent with earlier studies, wide variations in the fatty acid composition are reported, and appear to be agronomically related. All variaties show significant levels (2–5%) of squalene and a combined linoleic acid and olaic acid occurrence of between 70–-80%. This study represents the frist reported fatty acid composition of grain amaranthus cultivated in West Africa.
