Abstract: | The fatty acids from the seed oils of three Conifer species (one Pinaceae,Pinus pinaster, and two Cupressaceae,Chamaecyparis lawsoniana andBiota orientalis) have been analyzed as their 4,4-dimethyloxazoline (DMOX) derivatives by gas-liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry.
The structures of six Δ5-unsaturated polymethylene-interrupted fatty acids (Δ5-UPIFA) were established, confirming previous
studies in which they were identified by their equivalent chainlengths (ECL) and by comparison with related authentic standards.
These acids were:cis-5,cis-9 18∶2,cis-5,cis-9,cis-12 18∶3 (P. pinaster),cis-5,cis-9,cis-12,cis-15 18∶4 (C.lawsoniana),cis-5,cis-11 20∶2,cis-5,cis-11,cis-14 20∶3 (all species),cis-5,cis-11,cis-14,cis-17 20∶4 (B. orientalis) acids. In addition,cis-9 18∶1,cis-9,cis-12 18∶2 (all species) andcis-9,cis-12,cis-15 18∶3 (Cupressaceae) acids, together with their elongation products cis-11 20∶1,cis-11,cis-14 20∶2 (all species) andcis-11,cis-14,cis-17 20∶3 (B. orientalis) acids] were also identified. In the mass spectra, DMOX derivatives of all Δ5-UPIFA showed an intense peak atm/z 153, which is a diagnostic ion of fatty acid derivatives with a Δ5-ethylenic bond. Other double bonds were localized by ion
pairs that differed by 12 atomic mass units. The present study fully justifies the use of ECL to identify Δ5-UPIFA in Conifer
seed oils, in which they are ordinary components. |
