Influence of ultradisperse iron and copper powders on the oil content of cotton seeds and on the fatty acid composition of the seed lipids

摘要

The oil contents and the fatty acid compositions of the lipids of cotton seeds of varieties AN-402 and AN-9 grown under the influence of ultradisperse powders (UDPs) of iron and copper have been studied. Changes in the absolute weight, oil content, and fatty acid composition of the seeds have been shown. The action of an iron UDP led to an appreciable fall in the amount of palmitic acid in the AN-402 variety and arise in the oleic acid content.
