Evaluation of Salicornia Bigelovii Oil Planted Under Different Treatments: A Comparative Analysis | Chapter 9 | New Innovations in Chemistry and Biochemistry Vol.8

The percentage of oil in a representative sample of Salicornia Bigelovii seeds was determined using various extraction methods using organic solvents to find the most cost-effective one, and the effect of S. Bigelovii cultivation under various irrigation and fertilisation conditions on the percentage, composition, and nutrition value of oil was determined. We obtained representative samples of Salicornia Bigelovii seeds taken from the seacoast and 17 samples of S. Bigelovii seeds that were treated to various irrigation and fertilisation treatments from the International Training Centre-Mariut in Alexandria. Various solvents (hexane, hexane-isopropanol, and ethanol) and procedures were used to calculate the oil percent in a blank sample (B) (shaker, conventional, and ultrasonic). Using ethanol, the ultrasonic probe technique determined the percentage of oil in 17 samples. The oil composition was determined using GC analysis. The Folin-Ciocalteu reagent and the colorimetric method were used to measure the phenolic and flavonoid content of the residue, respectively. This study focuses on the influence of Salicornia Bigelovii growing under various irrigation and fertilisation conditions on the oil's percentages and fatty acid content. This oil's capabilities include biofuel production, as well as nutritional, cosmeceutical, and medicinal applications. The characterizations of the samples will be compared to blank samples taken from the saline aquatic environment's arid coastline area.
