The Fatty acid content and composition of fixed oil from Zanthoxylum rhetsa seeds was determined. The seeds were found to contain about ~19.5% of crude fixed oil on a dry weight basis. Fatty acids were converted into methyl esters and analyzed by GC-FID. Ten fatty acids were identified using GC-FID. The major monounsaturated and saturated fatty acids were oleic acid (41.6 43.5%) and palmitic ac...

The lipids were extracted from the winged bean (Psophocarpus tetragonolobus) seed with water-saturated n-butanol. Lipids were separated into groups by preparative TLC on silica gel G. The amount of each lipid type was determined by analysis of the fatty acid constituents in each lipid type. Glyceride was the major lipid accounting for 89.6% of the total, followed by an unknown lipid 4%, free fa...

safflower (carthamus tinctorius l.) is one of the oilseed crops adaption on a wide range circumstance of iran edaphic, which deficiency of micronutrients cause in its quality and quantity yield. to assign the effect of amount and utility period of micronutrients fertilizer on grain yield, yield components and characters of oil quality of safflower var mexi141 an experiment by factorial base ran...

In order to understand feeding ecology, habitat use and migration of coral reef fish, fatty acid composition was examined in damselfish species Abudefduf bengalensis and A. sexfasciatus collected in the Malaysian South China Sea. Proportions of saturated fatty acids (SAFA) ranged from 49.5% to 74.2%, with the highest proportions in fatty acids, the second highest was monounsaturated fatty acids...

background and aims: walnuts are good sources of polyunsaturated fatty acids (pufa) and polyphenols which have beneficial effects such as proper growth, decreasing coronary heart disease, prevention of several kinds of cancer, anti-inflammatory and anti-mutagenic activities. in this study, the fatty acid content and antiradical activity of different walnut (juglans regia l.) genotypes grown in ...

Fatty acid and sterol analysis were performed on Phytomonas serpens and Phytomonas sp. grown in chemically defined and complex medium, and P. françai cultivated in complex medium. The three species of the genus Phytomonas had qualitatively identical fatty acid patterns. Oleic, linoleic, and linolenic were the major unsaturated fatty acids. Miristic and stearic were the major saturated fatty aci...

Three diets, consisting respectively of formulations high in oleic and stearic acid, linolenic acid, and lauric acid, were fed to rats until the adipose tissue TGFA largely reflected the dietary pattern of fatty acids. The composition of the serum FFA under basal conditions and following noradrenaline-stimulated lipolysis, were examined in relation to the respective adipose tissue TGFA. It was ...

this study carried out to determine the differences between oil content and fatty acid compositions of 12 exotic and 6 local safflower genotypes. the experiments were arranged in randomized complete blocks design with three replications in research station of ferdowsi university of mashhad. the results of variance analysis showed that the differences of seed yield, oil content and fatty acid co...

Rosehip (Rosa canina L.) seeds are rich in bioactive compounds and nutrients hence with a great potential to be employed production of functional foods. This work aimed evaluate the fatty acid composition seed oil from wild cultivated rosehip collected at different locations Republic Serbia. Unsaturated acids were dominant majority samples, linoleic (LA), ?-linolenic (ALA) oleic (OA) (24.53–46....

Twelve pumpkin cultivars (Cucurbita maxima D.), cultivated in Iowa, were studied for their seed oil content, fatty acid composition, and tocopherol content. Oil content ranged from 10.9 to 30.9%. Total unsaturated fatty acid content ranged from 73.1 to 80.5%. The predominant fatty acids present were linoleic, oleic, palmitic, and stearic. Significant differences were observed among the cultivar...
