Fatty Acid Composition of ‘Cerrado’ Seed Oils

The seeds of 28 species from ‘cerrado’, a typical savanna ecosystem of Brazil, were analysed for total lipid contents and fatty acid distribution. The seeds of 10 species presented contents above 150 g kg⁻¹, the highest yield reaching 335 g kg⁻¹. Distribution of fatty acids based on polyunsaturated compounds seems to be rare in seed oils from ‘cerrado’: only three seed oils were found to be based on linoleic acid and none on linolenic acid. Eight seed oils, four of them Fabales, presented palmitic acid as a dominant constituent. Half of the species presented oleic acid based seed oils. Two species stand out for unusual fatty acid distribution: Qualea grandiflora (Vochysiaceae) with 171 g kg⁻¹ of seed oil presenting 723 g kg⁻¹ of lauric acid and Serjania erecta (Sapindaceae) with 256 g kg⁻¹ of seed oil presenting 623 g kg⁻¹ of eicosenoic acid.     

Using Lipid Profiles for the Characterization of Turkish Monocultivar Olive Oils Produced by Different Systems

The aim of this study was to characterize the biochemical profiles of the virgin olive oils produced in various districts of Aegean and South East Anatolia regions of Turkey over two growing seasons (2001–2002). The olive oils were extracted by classic hydraulic pressing, three phase continuous system, Abencor oil method at laboratory scale, and foot oil process from monocultivar Turkish olives, including Ayvalik, Memecik, Nizip Yaglik, Gemlik, Domat, and Uslu. Total phenolics, ortho-diphenols, oxidative stability, and total chlorophylls of the oils differed by location. The cis-trans fatty acids, triacylglycerols, and the actual versus theoretical equivalent carbon number of 42 (ECN 42) triglycerol content (ΔECN42) were within national and international averages. Oil samples from the three phase continuous system had higher total phenolic contents than those of the hydraulic pressure system. Turkish monocultivar virgin olive oil samples were classified by biochemical profiles using the principal component and hierarchical cluster analyses multivariate statistical methods. Clustering analysis defined groups according to growing location. Triacylglycerols and fatty acid profiles can be used for identification of monocultivar olive oils with regard to authenticity and classification.

EXTRACTION OF VICTORIA AND RED GLOBE GRAPE SEED OILS USING SUPERCRITICAL CARBON DIOXIDE WITH AND WITHOUT ETHANOL

SFE of the oils of two varieties of grape seeds (Victoria and Red Globe) was performed in a flow apparatus at 40C and 250 bar. The effect of the solvent on the extraction yield was studied using CO₂ and CO₂ modified with ethanol, and the yield of extraction was compared with conventional extraction methods (Bligh and Dyer and Soxhlet using hexane). SC CO₂  +  ethanol extracted higher lipid amounts from both varieties, compared with SC CO₂ extraction. The comparison between SFE and conventional extraction methods showed that the highest extraction yield was obtained with SC CO₂  +  ethanol (10%, w/w) (14.7 and 11.8% for Red Globe and Victoria grape seeds, respectively), while pure SC CO₂ afforded the lowest lipid yields. The fatty acid compositions of the oils obtained by SFE were analyzed. Fractions containing higher proportions of PUFAs were obtained at lower solvent/dry grape seed ratios, while fractions richer in SFAs and MUFAs were obtained at higher solvent/dry grape seed ratios.

PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS

SFE could fractionate grape seed oil and afford various grades of oil containing different proportions of fatty acids. The highest grape seed lipid yield obtained was with SC CO₂ + ethanol, making this solvent a promising and powerful one for grape seed oil extraction, showing a great advantage compared with conventional extraction methods.     

The protein,trypsin inhibitor and lipid of the winged bean [Psophocarpus tetragonolobus (L) DC] seeds

The protein, trypsin inhibitor and lipid of the seeds from 15 New Guinea and 15 Thai winged bean varieties grown in Malaysia were analysed. The results show that winged bean seeds have a high protein content, ranging from 27.8 to 47.2% (based on dry seed wt). The trypsin inhibitor contents vary from 1.6 to 3.6 million i.u. 100 g^?1 of seeds; these trypsin inhibitor activities could be destroyed almost completely by a simple heat treatment. The oil content varies from 15.2 to 27.8% of the dry seed wt. Saturated fatty acids account for 31–37% of the total fatty acids and behenic acid (22:0) alone constitutes about 14–17% of the saturated fatty acid content. Unsaturated fatty acids account for 63–69% of total fatty acids; oleic and linoleic acids together constitute 57–64% of the unsaturated fatty acids.     

Metabolic changes of biochemical constituents in developing fennel seeds (Foeniculum vulgare)

Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) is the major spice/condimental crop of Haryana, generally used in India for preparing pickles and in vegetable cooking. Flowers were tagged at anthesis, fennel seeds (local variety) were collected at 1-week intervals after 40 days from anthesis for studying biochemical constituents. Moisture and protein contents decreased significantly with the advancement of seed development. Oil content ranged from 68 to 135·7 g kg^?1 (dry weight basis), which increased with seed development. The oil content was greater in mature seeds. The presence of phytate (11·35–13·10 mg g^?1) was also observed, which affects the availability of Zn and Fe. Fennel seeds were found to be a rich source of micro- and macroelements. Neutral detergent fibre, acid detergent fibre, cellulose and lignin contents increased significantly with the advancement of seed development. Oleic and linoleic fatty acids were found to be major fatty acids and variable proportions of different fatty acids were observed.     

Comparison of fatty acid profiles and contents of seed oils recovered from dessert and cider apples and further Rosaceous plants

To get a more comprehensive knowledge of oil contents and fatty acid pattern, seed oils from various Rosaceous plants belonging to the subfamilies Maloideae and Rosoideae, respectively, were investigated. For this purpose, isolated seeds of 18 dessert and cider apple (Malus domestica BORKH.) cultivars of different provenances, pear (Pyrus communis L.), rose hip (Rosa canina L.), quince (Cydonia oblonga Mill.), and red chokeberry (Aronia arbutifolia L.) were analyzed for their oil content and fatty acid composition. Oil contents varied significantly, not only among the different genera, but also among cultivars of one species, ranging from 0.8 to 29.4?g/100?g?dry matter. Qualitatively, the fatty acid profiles of the investigated seed oils showed good agreement in all representatives of the Rosaceae. Their triacylglycerols were uniformly composed of linoleic, oleic, palmitic, stearic, palmitoleic, α-linolenic, arachidic, gondoic, and behenic acids. Quantitation of individual fatty acids revealed the oils to be rich in mono- and diunsaturated oleic acid and linoleic acid, ranging from 15.1 to 33.3?g/100?g and from 32.5 to 49.7?g/100?g, respectively. As expected, contents of saturated fatty acids were 6–10?times lower. Moreover, apple cultivars showed pronounced differences in yields, numbers, and weights of their seeds. As demonstrated by the data obtained from this study, seeds resulting from the processing of apple, pear, quince, chokeberry (Maloideae), and rose hip (Rosoideae) into juices, jellies, and jams may serve as a promising source for the recovery of nutritionally valuable edible oils.     

The fatty acid and tocopherol constituents of the seed oil extracted from 21 grape varieties (Vitis spp.)

BACKGROUND: Fatty acids and tocopherols in appropriate quantities are invaluable attributes that are desirable in seeds of agricultural products. Studies have generally focused on the evaluation of the oil and tocopherol components of oil crops. Recently, investigations revealed that the grape seed has robust potential in the production of healthy fatty acids as well as tocopherols. This study was thus conducted to determine the oil and tocopherol components of grape seeds, obtained from various grape cultivars of different species, including two rootstock varieties. RESULTS: The grape seed oil concentration of the studied varieties ranged from 7.3 to 22.4%. The determined fatty acid profiles of the genotypes conformed to the pattern described in the literature for grapes. Linoleic acid is the major component comprising 53.6–69.6% of the total, followed by oleic (16.2–31.2%), palmitic (6.9–12.9%) and stearic (1.44–4.69%). The oils of all the seeds analysed showed a preponderance of α‐tocopherol (ranging from 260.5 to 153.1 mg kg^?1 oil extract). β‐Tocopherol, γ‐tocopherol and δ‐tocopherol were also detected with the general means of 0.98, 22.2 and 0.92 mg kg^?1, respectively. Linoleic acid showed a significantly negative correlation with all the fatty acids analysed. The strongest negative correlation existed between linoleic and oleic acids (r = ? 0.834, P < 0.01). CONCLUSION: Present investigations indicated that oil content, fatty acid composition and tocopherol constituents of grape seed show great variation among the genotypes. Markedly higher proportions of linoleic acid with considerable amounts of tocopherols found in the oil samples suggest that grape seed is a good source for culinary, pharmaceutical and cosmetic uses.

Essential fatty acids and trans contents of some oils,margarine and other food fats

Levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), cis, cis-methylene interrupted polyunsaturated fatty acids (i.e. essential fatty acids—EFA) and isolated trans double bonds in six crude vegetable oils, seven commercial oils, eighteen margarines, two butter fats and fats from two types each of crisps and butter biscuits have been determined. The ratios between the PUFA or EFA and the saturated fatty acids of various samples have been tabulated. Normal (i.e. high linoleic) safflower seed oil gave the highest ratio. Margarines which were estimated to contain partially hydrogenated fish oils (45–90%, on fat basis) gave high values of trans double bonds. Butter fat having a similar EFA level to that present in a ‘hydrogenated fish oil’ margarine contained a much lower level of trans isomers. Almost all the PUFA in the oils of crips, and about half the PUFA content of butter biscuits, existed as ‘true’ essential fatty acids.

Egyptian mango by-product 1. Compositional quality of mango seed kernel

Egyptian mango seeds were collected as wastes from local fruit processing units and the kernels were separated and dried. This study was carried out on mango seed kernels to clarify their proximate composition, amino acids, phenolic compounds and the characteristics of the extracted oil including unsaponifiable matter constituents, lipid classes and fatty acid composition. Mango seed kernels contained a considerable amount of total phenolic compounds, total lipid, unsaponifiable matter, and a low amount of crude protein, but the quality of protein was good because it was rich in all essential amino acids. Eight phenolic compounds were identified; tannin and vanillin were in highest amounts. Unsaponifiable matter showed the occurrence of high amounts of squaline followed by sterols and tocopherols. Stearic acid was the main saturated fatty acid, while oleic acid was the major unsaturated fatty acid in all lipid classes. The fatty acid composition of total lipid and neutral lipid was similar, while phospholipid had a high amount of palmitic, linoleic and linolenic acids.

Compositional changes in seeds influenced by their positions in different whorls of mature sunflower head

The physicochemical characteristics of seeds located in different whorls of the sunflower (Helianthus annuus L) head at maturity have been studied. The proportion of filled seeds decreased from the peripheral to the central whorl, with a 10‐fold decrease in filled/unfilled seed ratio. The dry weight of seeds and kernels and the oil content of kernels decreased from the peripheral towards the middle and central whorls. However, the dry weight of seeds and kernels in the seed crop was significantly higher and the oil content lower than in the oil crop. The contents of starch, total soluble sugars and reducing sugars were lower in the oil crop than in the seed crop. The starch content of peripheral whorls in the seed crop was much lower than that of central whorls, with accumulation of total soluble sugars and reducing sugars, whereas much less variability was observed with respect to the position of seeds on the sunflower head in the oil crop. The mean proportion of membrane lipids was higher and that of triacylglycerols lower in the seed crop than in the oil crop. The proportions of 16:0 and 18:1 were higher in the seed crop, while that of 18:2 was higher in the oil crop. Copyright © 2003 Society of Chemical Industry

Dangshan Suli) seeds contained a large quantity of oils (apple seed oil, 291 g/kg seed; pear seed oil, 179 g/kg seed). Eleven types of fatty acids were identified in apple and pear seed oil; c16:0, c16:1, c18:0, c18:1, c18:2, c18:3, c20:0, c20:1, c20:2, c22:0, and c24:0. The dominant fatty acids in apple seed oil were c18:1 (43.03 g/100g oil), c18:0 (26.47 g/100g oil), and c16:0 (5.60 g/100g oil). The same three fatty acids were also dominant in pear oil (c18:1, 56.80 g/100g oil; c18:0, 20.28 g/100g oil; and c16:0, 6.39 g/100g oil). Compared with previous research, an additional six fatty acids were found in apple seed oil (c16:1, c18:3, c20:1, c20:2, c22:0, and c24:0). Unsaturated fatty acids comprised 70.598 g/100g oil of apple seed oil and 77.846 g/100g oil of pear seed oil. In conclusion, apple seeds and pear seeds contain a large quantity of oil comprised of many fatty acids, especially unsaturated fatty acids. These data suggest that apple and pear seeds could be new sources of edible oils.
