“…3 and 4; [10]). a-Naginatene was not recorded in our previous report of oil analysis [4,8] while an older report on perilla described that a-naginatene was contained in the oil of the elsholtziaketone (EK) type [11]. Elsholtziaketone is a further oxidized compound of shisofuran, and these two compounds coexist in the oil of the EK type [12].…”

Twenty-eight samples of mericarps of Perilla frutescens var. frutescens were collected through fieldwork performed in Phongsali and Xieng Khouang provinces in northern Laos. No perilla samples were collected from Savannakhet province in the south although more than 20 sites were investigated. Perilla plants are mostly grown mixed with dry-paddy rice by slash-and-burn cultivation in Laos. The most popular local name for perilla mericarps in the area was "Ma Nga Chan". Weight of 1,000 grains and hardness of the mericarps were measured, and all mericarps were found to be large (weight of 1,000 grains around 2 g) and soft (limit load weight under 300 g), which were preferred for culinary use in Laos. The composition of the essential oils obtained from the herbaceous plants raised from the mericarps was divided into five types, perillaketone, elemicine plus myristicine, shisofuran, piperitenon, and myristicine, and GC-MS analysis of these Laotian perilla samples showed that they were similar to those of corresponding types of known Japanese perilla strains. One of the shisofuran-type perilla contained large amounts of putative alpha-naginatene, which is likely to be an intermediate of the biosynthesis of naginataketone. The farmers' indifference to the oil type of the leaf seems to leave Laotian perilla as a good genetic resource for studies of the biosynthesis of oil compounds.

“…However, taxonomic nomenclature of Perilla is controversial (Park et al, 2008;Hu et al, 2010). Its recognized species vary from one (Li, 1974;Koezuka et al, 1985;Misra and Husain, 1987) to two (Pei, 1955) or four (Li, 1977). In China, Perilla is believed to have only one species (Perilla frutescens (L.) Britton) (Koezuka et al, 1985), which according to Hu et al (2010) can be is assumed to be the primary centre of its biodiversity (Li, 1969;Zeven and de Wet, 1982).…”

Omega-3 fatty acids have been shown to reduce inflammation and may help prevent chronic diseases like heart disease and arthritis. Alpha-linolenic acid is a type of ω ω ω ω-3 fatty acids and has been reported with a remarkably high content (>50%) only in seeds of several plant species, for example, Perilla and Linum usitatissimum L. It is a valuable compound obtained from plants which can provide health benefits similar to those derived from fish oil. In this study, five seed samples from five varieties of the monotypic genus Perilla collected from five provinces in China were analyzed to determine their fatty acid composition. The seed oils were extracted using Soxhlet, and oil contents of these samples ranged from 33.25 to 42.58% (wt/wt). Fatty acid compositions were then analyzed using gas chromatographymass spectrometry (GC-MS). Saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids accounted for 9.16 to 10.49, 13.78 to 20.93 and 63.12 to 73.45% of their totals, respectively, in which the content of the unsaturated fatty acids was over 90% on average. Moreover, α α α α-linolenic acid was dominant (52.58 to 61.98%) in all the oil samples, and it comprised 65.67 to 68.37% of the total unsaturated fatty acids and 83.30 to 84.38% of the polyunsaturated acids, respectively. However, contents of the ω ω ω ω-6 linoleic acid in the five samples were only 10.54 to 15.87%, and the ratio of ω ω ω ω-6 to ω ω ω ω-3 fatty acids was as low as 0.2 to 0.26. The results indicate that Perilla oil is presently the best quality oil derived from plant sources and hence it could be developed into commercial products to serve as a valuable alternative vegetable oil. Furthermore, oil from seeds obtained in regions with lower average growth temperature has relatively higher percentage of unsaturated fatty acids.
