Fatty Acid Composition of Seed Oils in Some Sand Dune Vegetation Species from Turkey
Chemistry of Natural Compounds(2014)
Abstract
Six species from sand dunes of northwest Turkey were investigated for their total seed oil lipid and fatty acid (FA) profiles. The total oil content ranged from 4.26 to 33.64% ( Plantago scabra and Glaucium flavum , respectively). The major FAs were linoleic, oleic, palmitic, and stearic acids (20.78–60.69%, 14.73–56.64, 5.42–15.13, and 1.65–3.67%, respectively). Considerable amounts of γ -linolenic acid were found in Plantago scabra and Cionura erecta (13.13 and 1.37%, respectively). The unsaturated FA content ranged from 83.09% in Cardaria draba to 87.80% in Eryngium maritimum . Significant correlations between FA concentrations in these species were evaluated. These species, as alternative sources of unsaturated FAs, should be evaluated as novel salt-tolerant crops and used for improving salt tolerance of existing oilseed crops.
