TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identified the methyl esters of Corchorus olitorius linn using accurate mass gas chromatography quadrupole time of flight mass spectrometry (GCQTOF) in chemical ionization and electron ionization (EI) modes.
Abstract: Fatty acids composition of Corchorus olitorius Linn were identified as their methyl esters using accurate mass gas chromatography quadrupole time of flight mass spectrometry (GCQTOF) in chemical ionization (CI) and electron ionization (EI) modes. The leaves which are the edible part of the plant were found to be very rich in ω3- octadecatriene fatty acid reaching up to more than 49 % of the total fatty acids contents. This is the first report to unequivocally detect ω-3 fatty acid in Corchorus olitorius Linn with a much higher concentration than any other reported vegetable and further investigation into its health effects are clearly warranted.

TL;DR: In this paper, heavy metal accumulation in two vegetable crops (Corchorus olitorius and Solanum nigrum L) was found to be elevated in two vegetables.
Abstract: Soil contamination by heavy metals has received considerable attention in recent years. In this study, heavy metal accumulation in two vegetable crops (Corchorus olitorius and Solanum nigrum L.) wa...

TL;DR: In this paper, the potential applications of Corchorus olitorius and Hibiscus sabdariffa oil seeds were determined by investigating their physicochemical and microbiological characteristics, and the extracted oils were respectively as follow: refractive index (1.46 and 1.45), acid value (3.74 ± 1.62 and 2.80 mg KOH/g), peroxide value (6.67 ± 0.58 and 5.33 ± 0).
Abstract: This work was carried out to determine the potential applications of Corchorus olitorius and Hibiscus sabdariffa oil seeds by investigating their physicochemical and microbiological characteristics. Physicochemical parameters of the extracted oils were respectively as follow: refractive index (1.46 and 1.45), acid value (3.74 ± 1.62 and 2.80 mg KOH/g), peroxide value (6.67 ± 0.58 and 5.33 ± 0.60 meq O 2 /kg), iodine value (132.54 ± 1.22 and 118.57 ± 1.22 g I 2 /100 g), saponification value (183.63 ± 3.24 and 189.23 ± 1.62 mg KOH/g), unsaponifiable matter (0.88 ± 0.04 and 0.85 ± 0.05 %), vitamin A (0,45 ± 0.01 and 0.60 ± 0.01 mg/g), cholesterol (0.00 mg/g) for C. olitorius and H. sabdariffa respectively . Absorbances of the two oils decreased abruptly in the range of UV-B and UV-A wavelengths. C. olitorius and H. sabdariffa seeds showed relatively high content of linolenic acid (about 29 and 37% of total fatty acids) with extremely low n-6/n-3 ratio (0.26 and 0.46). Microbiological analysis revealed that the crude extracted oilseeds were pathogenic bacteria free and the lipolytic bacteria counted belonged to Micrococcus genus. All these interesting characteristics should arouse attention for the usage of these oilseeds in food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. Key words : Corchorus olitorius, Hibiscus sabdariffa , seed oils characterization, linolenic acid, lipolytic bacteria.
