Seed oils from species of Solanum such as S. ferox (1), S. indicum (2), S. nudiflorum (3), and S. chacoense (4,5) have been shown to contain mainly linoleic, oleic, palmitic, and stearic acids. The seed oil from S. platanifolium contains palmitic, stearic, oleic, linoleic, and hexadecenoic acids, and a mixture of C 20 ‐C 31 alkanols and sterols.
