Fatty Acids Composition of Some Pomegranate(Punica granatum L.)Varieties Grown in Southeastern Anatolia Region in Turkey

摘要

In this study,fatty acids composition in the anl(edible part)of 6 pomegranate(Punica granatum L)varieties grown in Southeastern Anatolia region of Turkey were determined by using gas chromatography.The pre-dominant fatty acid in pomegranate arils was found linolenic acid(54.58-61.06%)and followed by palmitic acid(19 36-30.67%),linoleic acid(0 00-11.35%),oleic acid(2 37-6.17%),stearic acid(0 61-4 12%)and mynstic acid(0 28-0 94%)The differences among pomegranate varieties in terms of fatty acid compositions suggested that fatty acid profile could be useful for chemotaxonomic classification.
