Safflower seed (Corthamus tinctorius) was recognized to contain the highest concentration of linoleic acid among all oilseeds (Dubois et al., 2007), but research in this field is a few and almost non for Iranian safflower seed. The use of in vitro gas method based on syringes appears to be most convenient in developing countries where resources may be limited in recent years (Makkar, 2004). The Objective of this study was to compare nutritive value of two varieties of safflower seed (IL-111(I) and Native (N)) cultivated in Isfahan, Iran to each other and to the other oilseeds.
