Fatty acids in different pulses produced and consumed in Bangladesh

Abstract

Five pulse samples, Musuri (Lens esculenta), Orhor (Cajnus indicus), Motor (Pisum satiuum), Kheshari (Lathyrus satiuus) and Mash-kalai (Phaseolus Munqo), produced and consumed in Bangladesh, were extracted with ether (Soxhlet). Total fat,estimated bygravimetry,rangedfrom 1 to 1.7 Xofdryweights. Four saturated and 4 unsaturated fatty acids were detected in all in these fat extracts by g.1.c. The fat from Musuri, Orhor, Motor and Kheshari had 18 to 28 % palmitic acid and 54 to 67 % linoleic acid. Musuri fat also had oleic ( 17 %) and linolenic (10 %) acids as major components. Fat from Mash-kalai had an unusual pattern offatty acids and contained linolenic (70 %) and behenic (10 %) acids as major components. The unsaturated by saturated fatty acid ratios in the fat extracts ranged between 2.3 for Orhor to 4.4 for Musuri.

Nature of some Indian legume lipids

“…Lipid Content and Classes. The total lipids present in these Indian legumes constitute 1.7-2.2 %, a range of the same order as in other studies (Baker et al, 1961;Korytnyk and Metzler, 1963;Choudhury and Rahman, 1973;Miyazawa et al, 1974 a, b). The main exceptions so far to this low lipid level are the Bengal gram, Cicer arietinum, and two Phaseolus species, P. trilobus or mugani bean and P. aconitifolius or moth bean, which have 4-7%; of total lipid (Baker et al, 1961;Suresh et al, 1971;Shah, 1975).…”

Effect of ultrasonic and ball‐milling treatment on cell wall, nutrients, and antioxidant capacity of rose (Rosa rugosa) bee pollen, and identification of bioactive components

“…13 Lipid determination was made through Soxhlet extractor using petroleum ether (boiling range is 30-60 ∘ C) as solvent. 14 Water-soluble sugar determination was performed using the phenol-sulfuric acid method with ultra-violet (UV) visible spectrophotometry (UV-1700, Shimadzu Corporation, Kyoto, Japan). D (+)-glucose was used to prepare a standard curve.…”

Lyophilized royal jelly preparation in nanoscale and evaluation of its physicochemical properties and bactericidal activity

“…In this method, by measuring the total amounts of nitrogen in the samples, and using a coefficient of 6.25, total amounts of protein were obtained (Almeida‐Muradian et al, 2005 ). The lipid content of the samples was measured using a Soxhlet extraction apparatus (Pouya electric, 400‐PSU, Esfahan, Iran) with ether as the solvent at a boiling temperature of 60°C (Choudhury & Rahman, 1973 ). Total, reducing, and non‐reducing sugars in the samples were determined using Fehling's test, as describe by Aljohar et al ( 2018 ).…”
