LIPIDS FROM SEEDS OF Linum humile

摘要

Lipids from seeds of Linum humile cultivated in Uzbekistan were studied for the first time. It was found that seeds of this flax species contained 10% less oil than those of L. humile grown at northern latitudes of the European region. The contents and compositions of lipid groups and classes in addition to their fatty-acid compositions were established. The principal group of bound lipids was phospholipids. Lipid fatty acids were represented by 10-14 constituents with 18:1 and alpha-18:3 dominating the free lipids; 16:0 and 18:1, the bound lipids. The composition of unsaponifiable substances was determined.
