“…In comparison with the few previous studies, our investigation is the first description of the variation in FA contents in leaves of Algerian lentisk according to the period and altitude at harvest. Our quantitative results are mostly comparable to those of Diamantoglou et al [59], obtained in Greece, and those of Akdemir et al [60], in Turkey. Our lentisk leaves from the Algerian Tizi-Ouzou region presented FA proportions comparable to those of the Greece and Turkish ones for C14:0 (myristic), C16:0 (palmitic), C16:1 (palmitoleic), C18:2 (linoleic), and C18:3 (linolenic).…”

“…The lipid extracts from leaves were prepared for four harvest periods and from both sites. The extraction of leaf lipids was performed mainly according to Akdemir et al [60]. Powdered air-dried leaves (300 mg) were extracted in 1.5 mL of methanol-chloroform (1-2 V/V) for 30 min under stirring (tripentadecanoin was also added at 1 mg/mL as an internal standard (Sigma-Aldrich, Saint-Quentin-Fallavier, France) for further GC-MS analysis).…”

Leaves of Pistacia lentiscus were collected from two Algerian sites in the mountains and the littoral of the Tizi-Ouzou region. The harvest was conducted in four consecutive seasons on the same selected set of trees. Essential oils (EOs) were extracted by hydrodistillation; then, they were analyzed by gas chromatography coupled mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Forty-seven constituents could be detected and quantified, including α-pinene (2–13%), β-caryophyllene (8–25%), β-myrcene (0.3–19%), bornyl acetate (0.8–7%), δ-cadinene (3–8%), bisabolol (1–9%), β-pinene (0.9–7%), caryophyllene oxide (4–9%), and α-cadinol (3–11%). Antioxidant (AOx) activities of the EOs were assessed by ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), and 2,2′-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline)-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS) assays. Significant differences in EO composition and AOx activities appeared dependent on the season and the site. Variations of AOx activities were significant for the FRAP and ABTS tests but not for DPPH. Characterization of the leaf fatty acyl (FA) profiles was performed by GC-MS. Variability appeared according to season and altitude. Polyunsaturated fatty acids levels were high (27–55%) at the coldest date and place. The levels of linolenic acyl in the leaves were significantly correlated with bisabolol levels in the EOs (Spearman’s correlation coefficient: 0.818). Such results will be useful for the sustainable local valorization of wild P. lentiscus. These data also open new routes for further studies on terpenoid biosynthesis using correlation networks and fluxomic approaches.

“…Among others, omega fatty acids are known to maintain cell membrane, brain functions, and transmission of nerve impulses in humans for hemoglobin synthesis, cell division, and transfer of ambient oxygen to blood plasma 2) . The quality of edible oil is determined by fatty acids composition; however, this varies among the source of collection 3) . This becomes more important in the present scenario when the global market of fatty acids is expected to reach $ 17.5 Billion by 2023 4) .…”

plants are reported to be good sources of health-beneficial compounds such as fatty acid, which can generate livelihood and address food and nutritional insecurity 9) .Among others, Prinsepia utilis belongs to the family Rosaceae and is commonly known as Himalayan Cherry (English) ; Bhekhal, Jatalu, and Dhatila (Hindi) is one of the WEP found in the Himalayan region. It is a deciduous shrub found between 1000-3000 m asl and used in Chinese & Indian medicine to cure skin diseases, rheumatism, inflammation, and leprosy 10) . The seeds of the species are a source of edible oil and are reported as good as Mediterranean olive oil 11) . The seeds are rich in palmitic, oleic, linoleic, and erucic acid 9) . Besides cooking, the oil is used in arthritis, body pain, and muscular pain 11) . The seed oil is used in cosmeceuticals, skincare formulations and works as a skin barrier due to the presence of unsaturated fatty acids and vitamins 12) . The whole plant is traditionally used in many aliments such as infantile eczema, myogenic toxic-Abstract: The study aims to identify the fatty acid composition in Prinsepia utilis seeds collected from diverse populations of Western Himalaya, India. The seeds contained higher saturated fatty acid (SFA-43.09%; Average of all populations) followed by polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA -29.57%) and monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA -25.53%), however variations among growing populations was measured. The correlation analysis reveals a significant (p < 0.05) negative connection between 10-Octadecenoic acid methyl ester (FA1), and altitude. Edaphic factors like available nitrogen showed significantly (p < 0.05) but the negative correlation with cis-11-Eicosenoic acid, methyl ester (FA10; p < 0.001), Docosanoic acid, methyl ester (FA11; p < 0.05), Heptadecanoic acid, methyl ester (FA14; p < 0.05), and Tricosanoic acid, methyl ester (FA29; p < 0.05). Antioxidant activity did not show any variation in the seed oil of different populations but varied among the concentrations (5-50 µL) used. IC 50 values of DPPH activity was significantly (p < 0.05) varied connect ranged from 11.31-24.21 µL/mL among the different populations. These variations in fatty acid composition and IC 50 values of the DPPH activity can be one of the indicators for selecting a promising population that would be harnessed for its potential in nutraceuticals and cosmeceuticals industries.
