Fatty acid spectrum of mediterranean wild cruciferae

Abstract: Seed samples of 54 species of wild Cruciferae were newly collected from natural populations of the west Mediterranean and adjacent areas in a search for "new" oil crops. Oil contents and fatty acid compositions were determined simultaneously by gas liquid chromatography using methyl heptadecanoate as the internal standard. The study revealed large variations in oil content (6-48.8%), oleic acid (5-31.3%), linoleic acid (2-24.8%), linolenic acid (1.7-64.1%), and erucic acid (0-55.1%).

“…Such a discrepancy may be due to different cultivation procedures or pod pre‐treatment. Other species where major differences in oil content occurred compared with previous studies were C. orientalis (17% higher than in Kumar & Tsunoda, ), Hirschfeldia incana (L.) Lagr‐Fossat (12–17% higher than Kumar & Tsunoda, ), S. irio (17–22% higher than Mikolajczak et al ., ) and R. raphanistrum (10–17% higher than Jones & Earle, ). However, the extremely small seed size quoted by Jones and Earle () for R. raphanistrum would suggest that they may have incorrectly identified the species.…”

“…The oil content of R. rugosum was similar to that reported by Miller et al . (), but approximately 35% more than Kumar and Tsunoda (). Such a discrepancy may be due to different cultivation procedures or pod pre‐treatment.…”

“…There was also a significant positive correlation (p < 0.0001) between vaccinic and linoleic acids. 35 Since linoleic acid (18:2) and linolenic acid (18:3) contents are positively correlated, selection of genotypes with low linolenic and high linoleic contents may be difficult, but nevertheless feasible. 25 There were highly significant positive correlations between stearic and palmitic, and oleic acids, while a negative correlation was found between stearic, and vaccinic, linoleic, α-linolenic, eicosenoic and erucic acids.…”

“…These seeds can have an oil content of over 40 % in which the dominant fatty acids include oleic acid, linoleic acid and erucic acid [13]. Because it contains a high level of erucic acid [14][15][16][17] as being a toxic compound, mustard oil does not suitable to eat, but it could be a viable feedstock for biodiesel production [13].…”
