ABSTRACT

The chemical composition of seeds from paulownia (Paulownia tomentosa) was investigated. The main components in the triacylglycerol fraction of the oil were linoleic (64.1%), oleic (21.2%) and palmitic acids (7.3%). -Tocopherol (approx. 100.0%) predominated in the tocopherol fraction, and in the sterol fraction – -sitosterol (79.2%), campesterol (10.3%) and stigmasterol (7.7%). In the seeds were established 10.6 % protein, 9.5 % cellulose and 38.2 % hydrolysable carbohydrates.
