Fatty Acid and Tocochromanol Patterns of Some Salvia L. species

Abstract

In the course of our investigations of new sources of higher plant lipids, seed fatty acid compositions and the tocochromanol contents of Salvia bracteata, S. euphratica var. euphratica, S. aucherii var. canascens, S. cryptantha, S. staminea, S. limbata, S. virgata, S. hypargeia, S. halophylla, S. syriaca and S. cilicica were investigated using GLC and HPLC systems. Some of the species are endemic to Turkey. All the Salvia sp. showed the same pattern of fatty acids. Linoleic, linolenic and oleic acid were found as the abundant components. Tocochromanol derivatives of the seed oil showed differences between Salvia species. γ-Tocopherol was the abundant component in most of the seed oils except of S. cilicica. The total tocopherol contents of the seed oils were determined to be more than the total of tocotrienols.

Chemotaxonomy and flavonoid diversity of Salvia L.(Lamiaceae) in Iran

“…It can be concluded that S. syriaca accessions showed high chemical diversity. In addition, our results are in accordance with the findings of Bagcia et al (2004), Goren et al (2006) and , who used fatty acid compositions and phenolic compounds. Kharazian (2012b) and Sajadi et al (2010) showed high morphological and molecular diversity in S. syriaca accessions.…”

“…In the flora of Turkey and Russia, S. syriaca has been mentioned in a separate group (Pobedimova 1954;Hedge 1982a). In our results, using the AFLP molecular marker, Sajadi et al (2010) also reported that S. syriaca accessions were grouped with S. nemorosa, which is in agreement with Bagcia et al (2004), Goren et al (2006) and Kharazian (2012b). It can be concluded that S. syriaca accessions showed high chemical diversity.…”

Fatty Acid Compositions of Seed Oils of Three Turkish Salvia Species and Biological Activities

“…An antibacterial activity study of linoleic and oleic acids isolated from Helichrysum pedenculatum was also published [20]. The fatty acid compositions of some Turkish Salvia species were reported by two different Turkish research group and they showed that the main constituents of the Salvia seed oils are unsaturated fatty acids [21,22]. In this study, we report the fatty acid composition of seed oils of S. bracteata, S. aethiopis, and S. candidissima ssp.…”

Acorns (Quercus rotundifolia Lam.) and grass as natural sources of antioxidants and fatty acids in the “montanera” feeding of Iberian pig: Intra- and inter-annual variations

“…Different authors reported Brassicaceae fam. as a notable source of antioxidant compounds such as tocopherols (Bagci & Özcelik, 2009;Goffman, Thies, & Velasco, 1999;Heimler, Vignolini, Dini, Vincieri, & Romani, 2006) and this fact could be associated with the increase of tocopherols found in grass samples, at the end of the ''montanera" season. Differences in the distribution of grass families within a season and even different years could be responsible in part of the differences in the concentration of tocopherols.…”
