Fatty Acid Composition and ɷ-6/ɷ-3 Ratio of the Seed Oil of Achillea sipikorensis Hausskn. & Bornm.
Journal Title: Cumhuriyet Science journal - Year 2017, Vol 38, Issue 4
Abstract
The fatty acid compositions of the seeds of Achillea sipikorensis were investigated by gas chromatography (GC). The total lipid content of A. sipikorensis seed was found to be 3.83 %. Major fatty acids in seed oil were linoleic acid (C18:2 ɷ-6, 64.60 %), oleic acid (C18:1 ɷ-9c, 16.05 %) and palmitic acid (C16:0, 8.72 %). The level of ∑ɷ-6 series fatty acids (64.63 %) was higher than level of ∑ɷ-3 series fatty acids (1.42 %). ɷ-6/ɷ-3 fatty acids ratio was 45.51. According to these results, A. sipikorensis seeds can be recommended as a source of unsaturated fatty acids. This study is the first detailed report on the fatty acid composition of A. sipikorensis seed oil from Turkey flora.
