Comparison of the Fatty Acid Compositions of Six Cornelian Cherry ( Cornus mas L. ) Genotypes Selected From Anatolia

This study was carried out on 6 genotypes (K-1, K‑2, K‑3, K‑4, K‑5, K‑6) which have superior characteristics determined by selective breeding method from naturally-grown cornelian cherry in Konya Province. Differences among genotypes were revealed by determining fatty acid contents in samples obtained from experimented cornelian cherry. The fatty acid compositions of the samples were determined by Shimadzu 15-A Gas Chromatography. According to the results, fatty acid composition of the cornelian cherry samples is significantly varied depending on genotypes.
