While searching for the oil composition of camelina, I came across a research paper on “Camelina sativa, A Montana Omega-3 and Fuel Crop“. According to that paper, Camelina sativa is a new crop with a variety of uses. It is relatively easy to breed, and easy to grow with low input costs. Its meal is valuable as animal feed, and its oil has an important nutritional components (alpha linolenic acid and gamma-tocopherol). The industrial potential of this crop, given the current fuel crisis, is rather large.
They have given the Oil Composition of European Camelina cultivars [‘Celine’ (France), ‘Calena’ (Austria), and ‘Ligena’ (Germany)] and 3 Montana breeding lines (MT-1, MT-3, and MT-5).(Refer the following chart)
