Fatty Acid Composition Analysis of Aerial Parts of Selected Salvia Species Growing in Iran and Chemotaxonomic Approach by Shoot Fatty Acid Composition
Authors
Abstract:
In this study, fatty acid (FA) composition of aerial parts of selected Salvia species from Iran was analyzed by Gas chromatography. The amount of FAs was quantified for leaf and shoot of species as mg per kg (mg/kg) of dry weight. The results showed that FA contents of aerial parts for studied plants varied significantly and changed between 73.05 and 739.50 mg/kg of dried weight. Caprylic (C8:0, 1.00-380.49 mg/kg), elaididc (C18:1n9t, 0.73-97.29 mg/kg), stearic (C18:0, 1.1-62.97 mg/kg), palmitic (C16:0, 1.19-36.48 mg/kg), and α-linoleic (C18:3n3, 1.34-19.36 mg/kg) acid were major identified FAs. The numerical analyze was applied on FA composition of shoot and leaf of specimens and the shoot FA composition was selected to identify the systematic position of studied species. The UPGMA (Unweighted Pair Group Method with Arithmetic Mean) dendrogram showed that the species were grouped in two clusters. Caprylic acid (C8:0), behenic acid (C22:0), and lignoceric acid (C24:0) were chief characters in the infrageneric grouping the species in the genus. S. chloroleuca and S. atropatanawere placed in cluster I and separated from other species based on shoot FA composition. The discrimination of Salvia species based on their botanical classification was supported by results. The results confirmed that FA composition of shoot are distinguishable and can be used as chemotaxonomic markers.

Cellular fatty acid composition of selected Pseudomonas species.
The cellular fatty acid composition of 10 reference strains representing eight species of Pseudomonas was determined by gas-liquid chromatography. A variety of acids were detected in these organisms, including branched and straight-chained acids, cyclopropane, and hydroxy acids. Comparison of the presence and relative amounts of these acids among strains was useful for distinguishing various Ps...

In this study, total fatty acid composition and volatile fatty acid of silage species in Turkey was determined by using Gas Chromatography (Shimadzu 15-A). Total lipids were extracted from the corn silage, alfalfa silage and figüre silage samples by the method of Folch et al. Silage species were a total of 15 different fatty acids. These fatty acids between C12 to C24 have changed. Unsaturated ...

Eggs of the indigenous laying hens are preferred by consumers to those obtained from commercial breeds. The present study aimed to compare the fatty acid (FA) composition of yolk lipids of indigenous eggs (Indigenous; n = 20) and conventional eggs (Conventional; n = 20). Indigenous and conventional eggs were collected from Lori layer hens reared under free-range condition and an commercial farm...

The visceral storage fat and liver of patin catfish (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus) are normally discarded, which incurs cost and can cause environmental pollution. However, these may be potential sources to extract fish oil. The proximate and fatty acid compositions of liver and fatty tissue of patin catfish were investigated to evaluate the suitability of these by-products for extracting fish o...
