Changes in fatty acids were studied during maturation of Coriandrum sativum seeds. The seeds matured in 50 days after flowering.Lipid synthesis proceeded at a steady rate up to 40 days after flowering. Reductive ozonolysis of the monoenes followed by gas liquid chromatographic analysis of the atdehydic fragments as dioxolanes of 1,3-propanediol was employed to estimate petroselenate (octadeca-cis-6-enoate) in the presence of oleate (octadecacis-9-enoate). Petroselenic acid was the major fatty acid at all stages.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
