In this work, the behavior and physicochemical characteristics of fruits, seeds, and the oil extracted from three promising sprocket lines CP041, CP052, and CP054 with degrees of maturation were evaluated: light green, yellow, yellowish-brown, and dark brown. Th e samples were obtained from the germplasm bank of the Portoviejo Experimental Station of the National Institute for Agricultural Research (INIAP-EEP), Manabí, Ecuador. In the statistical analysis, it was determined that the ripe fruits were the ones that presented the highest percentage of oil content, being the line CP041 the one that presented the highest content. In the percentage of seeds in nuts, the CP041 line had a higher yield than the CP054 line. As for proteins, the CP041 line stood out, in the percentage of fi ber and humidity CP052 and the percentage of ash CP054. In line CP041, the light green fruit oil had a highe...
