    Abstract: The physicochemical properties, glycerides, lipids and fatty acid compositions of mulberry (tut) seed oil have been studied. It was observed that tut, a shrub grown well under the soil and climatic conditions of Bangladesh contains 31.41% of orange yellow colored oil. The oil was fractionated into mono, di and triglycerides by silicic acid column c... Show More
