Oil as the main part of diets, provides the highest calorie compared to carbohydrates and protein. They have a main role in the diet as salad oil, cooking, food product formulation and also concerning the economy. In the world, many unfamiliar or underexplored plant seeds exit which have high amount of oil economically good for industrial purposes or consumable. These oils are known as unconventional oil ( Sabikhi & Sathish Kumar, 2012). Generally, the demand and supply of oils are dependent on oils like soybean, cotton, coconut, olive, palm, and groundnut. However, due to different factors such as climatic conditions, inflation, and population, the need for new source of oils such as unconventional oils have been increased ( Choudhary et al.,2014). Unconventional oils are the new boosting area to up thrust the production of edible oils and reduce the dependence of oil import from other countries. The consumer awareness about food and health may directly impact the producers to work in that direction. Because of food habits and daily lifestyle, some diseases such as periodontal disease, cancer, osteoporosis, coronary heart disease, obesity, etc. could generate (Sonodaet al., 2018). The compounds of vegetable oils like tocopherols, sterols, and fatty acids (FAs) possess nutraceutical properties (Vazquez et al., 2019). So, it is important to know the compounds of unconventional oils and their biology activities.
