Proximate analyses of the sunflower and safflower variety were carried out using AOAC Method and fatty acid profile were analyzed using Gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer. The result showed that Rassian Black were highest percentage of fat (23.9%) and Protein (16.5%). The fatty acid composition Turkana was the highest Linoleic (C18:2) (73.2%) Compared to Oissa (54.3%) and Rassian Black (32.2%). Rassian Black was the highest percentage of long chain mono un saturated fatty acid oileic acid (C18:1) content(56.9%) compared to oissa (31.9%) and Turkana (18.05%).The sunflower and safflower variety with high lenolic and oileic fatty acid and low saturated fatty acids palmitic(C16:0), margaric(C17:0) and stearic(C18:0) appeared to be suitable for edible purpose.
Keywords: sunflower, safflower, proximate and fatty acid composition.
