General Uses Top

Suggest a correction!

Scientific and model use:
Whole seeds of Silene turkestanica have been used in phytochemical research as the source material for a published fatty‑acid compositional analysis of the seed oil. The study reported an oil content of 18.16% and a fatty‑acid profile dominated by linoleic acid (C18:2) at approximately 52.2 mol%. Reference: Kozlov MV, Gill S, Denisova LA, Feodorova SS. Fatty Acid Composition of Seed Oils from Silene turkestanica (Caryophyllaceae). Chemistry of Natural Compounds. 2017;53(6):1038–1042.

Properties relevant to use:
The seed oil’s linoleic‑acid predominance (polyunsaturated C18:2) aligns with the general chemical profile used to characterize drying or edible oils in analytical research; iodine value is not reported for this species. Reference as above.
