Raw data for: Comparative analysis of oil palm extraction rates and nutritional profiles of indigenous and introduced hybrid genotypes cultivated in selected districts of Uganda.

This dataset contains raw measurements and analytical results from ripe oil palm fruit bunches sampled in three Ugandan districts: Kalangala (introduced hybrids), Bundibugyo, and Kanungu (indigenous genotypes). A total of 75 bunches were collected, georeferenced, and processed for oil extraction and compositional analysis. The raw data include detailed field and sample metadata such as genotype, cultivation scale, plant age, agronomic practices, and morphological traits, alongside oil extraction parameters including oil extraction rate and mass of stearin recovered.

In addition, the dataset provides biochemical analyses covering carbohydrate content determined by the Anthrone method, fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) profiles for linolenic, linoleic, palmitic, stearic, and oleic acids using HPLC-UV, and beta-carotene concentration measured spectrophotometrically. All assays were performed in triplicate with analytical-grade reagents, and results are expressed in standardized units (mg/100 g, μg/g). Statistical outputs include raw values and processed data from non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis tests, comparing genotypes, districts, and age categories. Together, these data offer a comprehensive resource for evaluating oil palm diversity, nutritional composition, and biochemical quality across introduced and indigenous genotypes in Uganda.
