Chemical composition and biological activity of seed oil of amaranth varieties

Abstract: The work is devoted to study of seed oil composition of amaranth varieties: Kharkov, Lera, Andijan and Helios, acclimatized in Uzbekistan. We demonstrated the possibility of using reversed-phase HPLC using a refractometric detector, which allows simultaneous determination of squalene and triacylglycerides in plant seeds and determining the authenticity of amaranth oils. Established seed oiliness ranged from 6.39 to 7.81 % of the initial mass. Amaranth oil samples contained quite large amount of unsaturated fat… Show more

“…According to the reports, oil content was influenced by amaranth species, cultivar, agrotechnical practices, and growing location. This is also supported by the findings of other authors [ 54 , 56 ]. They determined oil contents in Amaranthus cruentus and Amaranthus hypochondriacus from 6.39 to 8.20%, whereas in another study oil levels ranged from 1.09 to 5.00% in Amaranthus cruentus and from 3.03 to 5.97% in Amaranthus hypochondriacus [ 13 ].…”

“…The saturated FA comprised on average 24.03% of the total FA and the unsaturated FA 75.00%, leading to an average saturated/unsaturated ratio of 0.32. Similar values were determined by other authors [ 14 , 55 , 56 ].…”

“…Approximately 100 000 ha in Russia is expected as amaranth growing area (Moudry et al 1999). Four new varieties belonging to A. hypochondriacus (Kharkov and Lera) and A. cruentus (Andijan and Helios) species have been recently acclimatized in Uzbekistan (Bozorov et al 2018). Amaranth seed has been widely investigated.…”
