Recently, the use of oils obtained from waste vegetable sources in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries has been increasing. Rosehip fruit is a good source of waste, resulting in a large number of waste seeds after processing for various products in the food industry. Waste rosehip seed was obtained from the rosehip marmalade canning industry. The main aim of this study is to determine fatty acid contents of waste rosehip seed by Gas Chromatography coupled with Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). Eighteen components comprising 100% of the total peak area were determined in the petroleum ether extract. Oleic acid methyl ester (9-Octadecenoic acid (Z)-, methyl ester) (36.42%) was determined to be the dominant fatty acid.
