Association of seed size with genotypic variation in the chemical constituents of soybeans

Ten soybean genotypes grown in 1992 with seed size ranging from 7.6 to 30.3 g/100 seeds and maturity group V or VI were selected and tested for oil and protein content and for fatty acid composition. In these germplasm, protein varied from 39.5 to 50.2%, oil, 16.3 to 21.6%, and protein plus oil, 59.7 to 67.5%. Percentages of individual fatty acids relative to total fatty acids varied as follows: palmitic, 11.0 to 12.8; stearic, 3.2 to 4.7; oleic, 17.6 to 24.2; linoleic, 51.1 to 56.3 and linolenic, 6.9 to 10.0. Seed size showed no significant correlations with individual saturated fatty acids, protein or oil content. However, significant correlations were found between seed size and individual unsaturated fatty acids: positive with oleic, and negative with linoleic and linolenic. Oil and protein content were negatively correlated with each other. Among the major fatty acids, only the unsaturated were significantly correlated with each other: negative between oleic and linoleic or linolenic, and positive between linoleic and linolenic. A subsequent study with soybeans grown in 1993 generally confirmed these findings. Variation in relative percentages of unsaturated fatty acids andr values for most pairs of relationships were even higher than those obtained from the 1992 crop.

Comparative Evaluation of Physicochemical Properties of Jatropha Seed Oil from Malaysia,Indonesia and Thailand

The jatropha oil was extracted from the jatropha seeds collected from different origins viz., Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand. The physicochemical properties such as density, viscosity, percentage free fatty acid (FFA), iodine value, saponification value and peroxide value of the extracted jatropha seed oil were evaluated. The evaluation of fatty acid composition using gas chromatography (GC) revealed that, oleic (42.4–48.8%) and linoleic acid (28.8–34.6%) are the dominant fatty acids present in the jatropha seed oil. The saturated fatty acids such as palmitic and stearic acid lie in the range 13.25–14.5 and 7–7.7%, respectively. The observed major triacylglycerol (TAG) composition was OOL (22.94–25.75%) and OLL (15.52–20.77%).     

Variability in fatty acid composition amongArachis genotypes: A potential source of product improvement

Research on peanut (Arachis hypogeae L.) genotypes has shown a high degree of genetic variability in fatty acid composition. The two major oil fatty acids, oleic and linoleic, range between 36–69% and 14–40%, respectively, and together make up 75–85% of total fatty acids. The very long chain (C₂₀–C₂₄) fatty acids make up 4–9%, palmitic acid 7–13%, and stearic acid 2–5% of total fatty acids. Stability of oil samples as measured by length of autoxidation induction period at 60 C shows variable but statistically significant (P<0.01) correlations with levels of linoleic acid; peanut butter samples show similar patterns of stability. Selection for lower levels of linoleic acid in the development of new varieties of peanuts should results in products with significantly improved shelf life. Some genotypes show consistent differences in oil stability patterns that are not related to oil linoleic acid content. Analysis of entries from 16 wildArachis species collections revealed levels of oil linoleic acid higher than those found inA. hypogaea. One species,A. villosulicarpa, contained 49% linoleic acid and 21% very long chain acids. The range in linoleic acid withinA. hypogaea and availability of suitable techniques for measuring selection progress give scope for product improvement through breeding.     

Chemical Composition and Nutritional Characteristics of the Seed Oil of Wild <Emphasis Type="Italic">Lathyrus</Emphasis>, <Emphasis Type="Italic">Lens</Emphasis> and <Emphasis Type="Italic">Pisum</Emphasis> Species from Southern Spain

The fatty acid composition of the seed oil of 19 wild legume species from southern Spain was analyzed by gas chromatography. The main seed oil fatty acids ranged from C_14:0 to C_20:0. Among unsaturated fatty acids, the most abundant were linoleic, oleic and linolenic acids, except for Lathyrus angulatus, L. aphaca, L. clymenum, L. sphaericus and L. nigricans where C_18:3 contents were higher than C_18:1 contents. Palmitic acid was the most abundant saturated acid in studied species, ranging from 11.6% in Lathyrus sativus to 19.3% in Lens nigricans. All studied species showed higher amounts of total unsaturated fatty acids than saturated ones. Among studied species, the ω6/ω3 ratio was variable, ranging from 2.0% in L. nigricans to 13.8% in L. sativus, there being eight species in which the ω6/ω3 ratio was below 5. The fatty acids observed in these plants supports the use of these plants as a source of important dietary lipids.     

Jojoba—Variability in oil content and composition in a collection of 1156 native plants

Data are presented on the oil content and composition in the seeds of 1156 native jojoba plants harvested individually from inland and coastal areas of California and Arizona in the U.S. and from Sonora and Baja California in Mexico. The mean oil content of these samples was 53.2%; 34.2% of the samples exceeded 53%. The mean single seed weight was 0.56 g. A significant correlation between single seed weight and oil content was found but there was no correlation between oil content of the seed and seed yield per plant. Analysis of the oil for fatty acids and fatty alcohols showed very little variability among samples. This compositional uniformity is a major asset in terms of industrial application of this oil. Half the seeds studied in 144 samples had a mean oil content of 49.5% and mean single seed weight of 0.39 g. Simple correlations between fatty acids and oil content were similar to those reported earlier.     

Analysis and fatty acid composition of tobacco seed oils

Summary THE fatty acid compositions of twelve samples of oil representing a number of different types and varieties of tobacco were determined by the thiocyanometric method. The samples were remarkably uniform in composition, containing on the average 75% linoleic, 15% oleic, and 10% saturated acids. Spectrophotometric determination of the linoleic acid content of two samples of oil gave values 3.0 and 5.4% higher than those by the thiocyanometric method. A more complete investigation of the fatty acid constituents of one sample of flue-cured tobacco seed oil was carried out by analysis of fractions obtained by distillation of the methyl esters and by low-temperature crystallization of the distilled ester fractions. The composition calculated from these analyses agreed well with that determined from analysis directly on the oil. The saturated acids consisted of palmitic and stearic acids, the proportions being about 7 and 3%, respectively, of the total fatty acids. Analysis of this sample of oil showed that it contained 0.043% of tocopherol. From its composition, tobacco seed oil would seem to be particularly suitable for the manufacture of nonyellowing alkyds or for the preparation of technical linoleic acid.

Fatty acids of pimiento pepper seed oil

Pimiento pepper (Capsicum annum L.) seed oil was shown to contain 66–71% linoleic acid with smaller quantities of 16 and 18 carbon saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids. Neither geographical location nor location within pimiento processing plants influenced the level or composition of the seed oil. Two varieties of bell-type peppers were shown to have essentially the same seed oil composition as that of pimientos. Oil extracted from the fruit wall and placenta of pimientos was red and contained high levels of linolenic and small quantities of very long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids.

Zusammensetzung einiger koreanischer Samenöle

Composition of Some Korean Seed Oils Seeds of some Korean plants, used in popular medicine, were investigated for oil content, fatty acid composition and sterol composition. Two seed oils of conifers contained unusual polyenoic acids having 18 and 20 C-atoms. cis-5, cis-9, cis-12-Octadecatrienoic acid was identified as one of the major component fatty acids in the seed oil of Pinus koraiensis. Apart from their medicinal use, some of the investigated seeds of angiosperms, such as perilla, sesame or rape, are used mainly for oil extraction. The oils in the varieties cultivated in Korea do not differ in their fatty acid composition from the figures considered as average composition in Europe.     

Current advances in sunflower oil and its applications

The fatty acid and triacylglycerol composition of a vegetable oil determine its physical, chemical and nutritional properties. The applications of a specific oil depend mainly on its fatty acid composition and the way in which fatty acids are arranged in the glycerol backbone. Minor components, e. g. tocopherols, also modify oil properties such as thermo‐oxidative resistance. Sunflower seed commodity oils predominantly contain linoleic and oleic fatty acids with lower content of palmitic and stearic acids. High‐oleic sunflower oil, which can be considered as a commodity oil, has oleic acid up to around 90%. Additionally, new sunflower varieties with different fatty acids and tocopherols compositions have been selected. Due to these modifications sunflower oils possess new properties and are better adapted for direct home consumption, for the food industry, and for non‐food applications such as biolubricants and biodiesel production.     

Einfluß gestaffelter Rapssaatanteile im Legehennenfutter auf das Fettsäurenmuster des Eifettes unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der polyungesättigten Fettsäuren

Influence of Graded Levels of Rape Seed in Laying Hen Diets on the Fatty Acid Composition of the Yolk Fat with Special Consideration of the Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids Technical treated rape seed was evaluated as feed ingredient for laying hens and the influence of rape oil on the fatty acid composition of the egg yolks was also investigated. Rape seed levels of 7.5%, 15% and 22.5% were fed both to brown and white laying hens (Lohmann Brown, LB, and Lohmann Selected Leghorn, LSL, resp.). A depression in performance was recorded only with the highest rape inclusion level for the parameters feed conversion (LB-hens) and daily egg production (LSL-hens). The fatty acid composition of the egg yolk was influenced in a dose-response related manner. The percentage of the saturated fatty acids decreased with increasing levels of rape seed whereas the mono-unsaturated fatty acids and the n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids were hardly influenced. The level of the polyunsaturated n-3 fatty acids was characterized by a strong dose-dependent increase. In addition, long chained polyunsaturated fatty acids of the n-3 family - not present in rape oil - were detected in the yolks.

对印楝和苦楝2个亲本采用体细胞融合技术杂交形成的7年生杂交楝进行了果实含油量测定,并对其籽油进行了脂肪酸组成分析。结果表明:果皮和果肉含油量较低,分别为 1.65% 和 1.53%;种仁含油量较高,为 39.20%。种仁经提取获得籽油后进行甲酯化处理,再进行GC-MS分析,共检测出6种脂肪酸。它们是亚油酸(C₁₈:2)67.00%、油酸(C₁₈:1)18.03%、棕榈酸(C₁₆:0)8.96%、硬脂酸(C₁₈:0)3.94%、花生酸(C₂₀:0)0.35% 和未知脂肪酸 1.72%;其中不饱和脂肪酸占 85.03%。杂交楝种仁含油量比苦楝高出1.6个百分点。     

Variability in seed oil composition of 43Linum species

Analyses of the seed oil of 43Linum species showed great variability in fatty acid composition. The species can be grouped in two broad categories on the basis of seed oil composition: 1) Those with high linolenic, low linoleic and low oleic acid content, and 2) Those with high linoleic, low linolenic and low oleic acid content. A positive correlation was observed between iodine value and linolenic acid content, and a negative correlation between linolenic and linoleic acid content. There was no correlation between fatty acid composition and chronosome number.

Modification of the fatty acid composition of L1210 murine leukemia cells

We have compared the effect of diets containing 16% sunflower seed oil (polyunsaturated fat-rich) or 16% coconut oil (saturated fat-rich) fed for 3–7 weeks on the composition of L1210 murine leukemia cells which were transplanted into the peritoneal cavity during the final week of feeding. The L1210 phospholipids of mice fed the sunflower oil diet contained 43% polyenoic fatty acids and an average of 1.5 double bonds per fatty acid molecule as compared to only 25% polyenoic fatty acids and 1.2 double bonds in the coconut oil group. In contrast, the cells from the sunflower oil group contained only 13% monoenoic fatty acids as compared to 33% in those from the coconut oil group. When compared to phospholipids of tumors from mice who were fed a commercial mouse chow, cells grown on sunflower oil had an 18% increase in polyenoic fatty acids and those grown on coconut oil a 31% decrease. The greatest changes occurred in the proportion of oleate and linoleate. There was only a small difference in the percentage of saturated fatty acids and in the mean fatty acid chain length among the tumor cells from animals on the experimental diets. The changes in the fatty acid composition of the L1210 cell neutral lipids and the lipids of the ascites fluid were similar to those observed in the phospholipids. A majority of the changes had occurred after 5 weeks of feeding the special diet. These results indicated that the fatty acid saturation of tumor cell phospholipids can be altered appreciably. The changes in fatty acid composition were not associated with any change in the sterol/phospholipid ratio of the cells. Therefore, our results suggest that it may be possible to alter the physical properties and function of a tumor cell membrane by dietary modification of its phospholipid composition.     

Comparative Analysis of Essential Bioactive Components of Oils Originating from Three Chinese Loess Plateau Wild Crops

The ability of soil and water conservation crops to resist stress is closely related to their abundance of lipid-soluble chemical components. This study systematically evaluated the composition and content of fatty acids, sterols, squalene, and tocopherol in oils extracted from three varieties of crops growing on the Chinese Loess Plateau with extreme environments. The dominant fatty acids in the wild seabuckthorn pulp oil were oleic acid (29.73%), palmitic acid (26.83%), and palmitoleic acid (25.71%), and those in wild seabuckthorn seed oil were linoleic acid (42.29%), α-linolenic acid (20.65%), and oleic acid (18.94%). The most abundant fatty acids in wild elaeagnusmollis seed oil were oleic acid (43.29%), linoleic acid (35.93%), and α-linolenic acid (7.00%). Wild yellowhorn seed oil was rich in linoleic acid (34.14%), oleic acid (25.99%), and erucic acid (8.76%). Seabuckthorn seed oil had the highest levels of total sterols (619.33 mg/100 g), followed by seabuckthorn pulp oil (606.10 mg/100 g), yellowhorn seed oil (249.46 mg/100 g), and elaeagnusmollis seed oil (224.01 mg/100 g). However, the squalene content was highest in elaeagnusmollis seed oil (68.06 mg/100 g) and similarly low in yellowhorn seed oil (9.81 mg/100 g), seabuckthorn pulp oil (4.62 mg/100 g) and seabuckthorn seed oil (4.71 mg/100 g). In addition, seabuckthorn pulp oil had the highest tocopherol content (179.92 mg/100 g), followed by seabuckthorn seed oil (130.57 mg/100 g), elaeagnusmollis seed oil (85.87 mg/100 g), and yellowhorn seed oil (45.44 mg/100 g). This study provides favorable data supporting biomass resource utilization and organic synthesis of bioactive raw chemical composition.     

Survey of seed oils for use as diesel fuels

Fifty-one out of 364 plant seeds being surveyed had fatty acid contents greater than 15% (dry weight), and their methyl esters had cetane indices higher than 50. Rambutan seed was an exception, with a lipid content of only 14.7%, but a high cetane index (67.1); thus, it was included in this report. Twenty seed oil methyl esters had cetane indices greater than 60. Three seed oils from the Sapindaceae family not only had high cetane indices but also contained long-chain fatty acids of 20 carbon atoms. Gross heats of combustion of the fatty acid methyl esters were slightly higher than those of neat oil, ranging from 38.2 to 40.8 j/g, whereas the heating values of the oils ranged from 37.4 to 40.5 j/g. Thus, these plant seed oils have great potential for development as diesel fuel or diesel fuel extender.     

Veränderungen verschiedener Inhaltsstoffe in einzelnen Sonnenblumenfrüchten nach mutagener Behandlung in M2 und M3

Changes in Various Components in Single Sunflower Fruits after Mutagenous Treatment in M₂ and M₃ These investigations had the goal to find two different oil types with high linoleic acid content for dietfood at the one side and with high oleic acid content for special purposes for example as frying oils at the other side. By mutagenic treatment with Ethyl-methane-sulfonate and radiation the variability of fatty acid composition should be increased. After EMS-treatment a variation range from 36.6 to 83.4% linoleic acid and from 10.6 to 44.8% oleic acid was found by means of single seed investigations. After radiation with 10 KR x-rays linoleic acid content varied from 43.5 to 84.9% and oleic acid content varied from 9.2 to 42.4%. Oil and protein content as well as hull percentage of single seeds had wide variation, too. Correlation calculations showed highly negative correlations between contents of oleic and linoleic acid in all cases and partially relations between fruit size and oil and protein content.     

Variation in Fatty Acid Compositions, Oil Content and Oil Yield in a Germplasm Collection of Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.)

The variation in oil content, oil yield and fatty acid compositions of 103 sesame landraces was investigated. The landraces varied widely in their oil quantity and quality. The oil content varied between 41.3 and 62.7%, the average being 53.3%. The percentage content of linoleic, oleic, palmitic and stearic acids in the seed oil ranged between 40.7–49.3, 29.3–41.4, 8.0–10.3 and 2.1–4.8%, respectively. Linolenic and arachidic acids were the minor constituents of the sesame oil. Linoleic and oleic acids were the major fatty acids of sesame with average values of 45.7 and 37.2%, respectively. The total means of oleic and linoleic acids as unsaturated fatty acids of sesame were about 83% which increases the suitability of the sesame oil for human consumption. The superiority of the collection was observed in oil content. The oil content of a few accessions was above 60%, proving claims that some varieties of sesame can reach up to 63% in oil content. The accessions with the highest oil content were relatively richer in the linoleic acid content while there were some landraces in which linoleic and oleic acid contents were in a proportion of almost 1:1. The results obtained in this study provide useful background information for developing new cultivars with a high oil content and different fatty acid compositions. Several accessions could be used as parental lines in breeding programmes aiming to increase sesame oil quantity and quality.     

Detection of adulteration

A program of work is in progress to establish the levels and ranges of fatty acids and other components present in the major edible vegetable oils. Authentic samples from the major producing areas for such oil have been obtained and analyzed. In the case of palm oil, ranges of the fatty acid composition and of the acids at the triglyceride 2-position, have been obtained for about 40 samples. These data were used to calculate enrichment factors, and triglyceride carbon number compositions, using a small computer program. Comparison with experimentally determined carbon number compositions were then made. Good correlations were found for whole unadulterated oils, but not for oil fractions. Unfortunately, these differences were insufficient to detect contamination of palm oil by 10 or 20% levels of other oils, or of palm fractions. Compositional ranges of sterols and tocopherols have also been determined on a selection from the original set of palm samples. Work on sunflower seed and groundnut oils has followed the same lines, particular attention having been paid to linolenic acid and, in the case of groundnut oil, also erucic acid, levels. Some groundnut kernels were found to have an oil with a component which cochromatographed with methyl erucate during fatty acid determination. This unknown constituent was studied by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, and is thought to comprise a mixture of epoxy fatty acids. Analysis of the triglyceride fraction isolated from groundnut oil by thin layer chromatography removes this unknown constituent, and simplifies interpretation of the fatty acid composition of groundnut oil.
