Minor and major mineral contents of seed oils of Capparis ovata Desf. var. canescens (Coss.) Heywood and Capparis spinosa var. spinosa used as pickling products in Turkey were determined by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry. The seed oils contained Al, P, Na, Mg, Fe, and Ca, in addition to fatty acids. The highest mineral concentrations measured were 14.91-118.81 mg/kg Al, 1,489.34-11,523.74 mg/kg P, 505.78-4,489.51 mg/kg Na, 102.15-1,655.33 mg/kg Mg, 78.83-298.14 mg/kg Fe, and 1.04-76.39 mg/kg Ca. The heavy metal concentrations were less than the limit of detection in all oil samples. The results may also be useful for the evaluation of nutritional information.

The known compounds cappariloside A and stachydrin, an adenosine nucleoside, and for the first time from plants of the Capparidaceae family the known compounds hypoxanthine and uracil were isolated from Capparis spinosa (Capparidaceae) fruit.Capparis spinosa (Capparidaceae) is widely distributed throughout the whole world. Information on alkaloids, flavonoids, and glycosides [1][2][3][4][5] in addition to lipids and carbohydrates [6] from this plant has been published.Herein we report a study of alkaloids from fruit of C. spinosa growing in Xinjiang Autonomy Region of China. The alcohol extract of ground and defatted ripe fruit of C. spinosa produced total extracted substances containing also water-soluble alkaloids of the betaine type. The lipophilic components were removed by washing the acidic solution of extracted substances with ether. The total alkaloids were obtained by treatment of the acidic solution with conc. ammonia to adjust the pH to 9 and extraction with n-butanol (fraction A). The dried alkaloidal fraction A was chromatographed over a silica-gel column with elution by CHCl 3 , CHCl 3 :CH 3 OH, and CH 3 OH. Work up with CH 3 OH of the CHCl 3 :CH 3 OH (12:1) fractions isolated amorphous hypoxanthine (1) and uracil (2) [7,8], which were identified using PMR and 13 C NMR spectral data and authentic samples (spectral properties are given in Experimental).Crystalline 3, mp 228-229°C, was isolated from CHCl 3 :CH 3 OH (10:1) fractions. The UV spectrum of 3 had absorption maxima at 206.4 and 259.6 nm. The IR spectrum had absorption bands for active H at 3425, 3370 (NH 2 ), 3320, and 3143 (OH) cm −1 ; lactone ring (tetrahydrofuran), 1680; ether, 1100 and 1030; and tri-and disubstituted aromatic rings, 1600, 1577, 870, 822, 795, and 765. The mass spectrum of 3 gave a peak for the molecular ion with m/z 267 and fragments with m/z 148 and 119 produced by cleavage of the tetrahydrofuran ring. Peaks for ions with m/z 134 and 133 corresponded to fragments formed by cleavage of the C-N bond between the main part of the molecule and the tetrahydrofuran ring. NMR data ( 1 H and 13 C) are given in Experimental.The spectral data (UV, IR, mass, NMR) were reminiscent of those of adenosine (3) [9]. However, the lack of an authentic sample prohibited reliable identification of 3 as adenosine. As a result, a single-crystal x-ray structure analysis (XSA) of 3 showed that the isolated base was in fact the known nucleoside adenosine (C 10 H 13 N 5 O 4 ), which is constructed from D-ribose and a purine base in which the N-9 atom of the purine base adenine is bonded to C-1 of D-ribose [10][11][12][13]. Adenosine

Capparis spinosa is a member of the Capparaceae family. Lipids and carbohydrates from this plant have not previously been studied. Only data from a study of the alkaloids, flavonoids, and glycosides have been published [1][2][3][4][5].Herein we report results from an investigation of lipids and carbohydrates from roots of C. spinosa growing in Xinjiang Autonomy Region of China. Lipids and carbohydrates were isolated successively from a single portion of raw material. Lipids were extracted from air-dried ground raw material by CHCl 3 :CH 3 OH (1:1, v/v). The extract was purified of nonlipid components by washing with aqueous CaCl 2 solution (0.05%). The yield of lipids was 0.54% of the raw material mass. Lipids were separated into neutral lipids (NL), glycolipids (GL), and phospholipids (PL) by CC over silica gel. NL were eluted by CHCl 3 ; GL, by acetone; PL, by CH 3 OH. The NL content was 53.0%; GL, 37.2; PL with pigments, 9.8% of the total mass.The qualitative compositions of the individual lipid groups were established by analytical TLC over silica gel using the solvent systems hexane:diethylether (4:1) for NL; CHCl 3 :(CH 3 ) 2 CO:CH 3 OH:CH 3 CO 2 H:H 2 O (65:20:10:10:3) for GL, and CHCl 3 :CH 3 OH:NH 4 OH (13:7:1) for PL.Lipid classes were identified by their chromatographic mobility compared with authentic compounds and qualitative reactions. Specific reagents for NL, GL, and PL classes were prepared as before [6].Hydrocarbons, esters of sterols and high-molecular-weight fatty acids, triacylglycerides, free fatty acids, free sterols, and aliphatic alcohols were identified in the NL.The principal classes of GL were monogalactosyldiglycerides, sterolglycosides, and cerebrosides. Esters of sterolglycosides and digalactosylglycerides were also present.The main PL were phosphatidylinosites, phosphatidylcholines, and phosphatidylethanolamines. Phosphatidic acid and N-acylphosphatidylethanolamines were observed in trace quantities.The total lipids were hydrolyzed by KOH in CH 3 OH (20%) with boiling on a water bath for 1 h in order to determine the fatty-acid composition. Fatty acids were converted to the methyl esters by freshly prepared diazomethane [6].The fatty-acid composition of the total lipids was established using the methyl esters and GC (15% Reoplex-400 on Chromaton N-AW). The results were as follows (mass %): 10:0, 0.
