Coriander seed oil is included among the 20 major essential oils in the world market and its commercial value depends on its physical properties, chemical composition, and aroma .The essential-oil content of the dried fruits varies from very low (0.03%) to a maximum report of 2.7% . Linalool is the main volatile compound in seeds, typically constituting more than 50% of the total essential oil. Fatty acids are also important components of coriander seeds; the main fatty acids detected in coriander, in decreasing order, are petroselenic, linoleic, palmitic, and stearic acids.Furthermore, cleavage of the unusual double bond in petroselenic acid leads to the production of lauric acid, to obtain surfactants and edible products, and adipic acid for nylon synthesis. Residues from distillation can be used for livestock feed, and the fatty acids also have potential uses as lubricants.
