ABSTRACT
A proximate analysis of the seed of the C.orinocense K(Euphorbiaceae) has demonstrated that these are a good source of adible oil. The crude oil was analized to determine its physical and chemical characteristics and the lipid composition, using the AOAC methods and gas liquid chromatography. The results showed that the oil meets Venezuelan standards for edible vegetable oils, with the exception of moisture and the acid index. It is rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids (75.13 per cent linoleic acid), having a polyunsaturate to saturated fatty acid ratio of 6.50, and therefore could be used for human consumption
