The fatty acid profiles - including petroselinic and cis-vaccenic acid - of different Umbelliferae seed oils

Oil content, fatty acid composition and the distribution of vitamin-E-active compounds of selected Turkish seeds that are typically by-products of the food processing industries (linseed, apricot, pear, fennel, peanut, apple, cotton, quince and chufa), were determined. The oil content of the samples ranged from 16.9 to 53.4 g/100 g. The dominating fatty acids were oleic acid (apricot seed oil, peanut oil, and chufa seed oil) in the range of 52.5 to 68.4 g/100 g and linoleic acid (pear seed oil, apple seed oil, cottonseed oil and quince seed oil) with 48.1 to 56.3 g/100 g, while in linseed oil mainly α-linolenic acid (53.2 g/100 g) and in fennel seed oil mainly 18:1 fatty acids (80.5 g/100 g) with petroselinic acid predominating. The total content of vitamin-E-active compounds ranged from 20.1 (fennel seed oil) to 96 mg/100 g (apple seed oil). The predominant isomers were established as α- and γ-tocopherol.

“…In a previous study carried out by Bernath et al [19] it was found that fennel samples contain 14.9% fatty oil, whereas in later studies about 20% fatty oil was measured in fennel fruits [27,28]. So, the values of the obtained yields by Soxhlet extraction might be a good initial indicator whether the obtained extraction efficiency in the developed method is satisfactory, taking into consideration the fact that we tried to extract both the fatty oil and the volatile non-polar components.…”

“…cis-octadec-6-enoic acid, 6c-18:1, and it is considered as a valuable synthetic precursor of lauric acid [25]. The fatty acid profile of the fatty acid oil in fennel fruits has been studied by several research groups, including characterization and separation of the three 18:1 positional isomers: oleic (9c-18:1), vaccenic (11c-18:1) and petroselinic (6c-18:1) acid [26][27][28][29]. The yield of the fixed oil is in the range of 8-24% [28], depending on the origin of the sample and technique and conditions for extraction.…”

Cultivated and wild growing samples of fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Mill., Apiaceae) from R. Macedonia were studied for their volatiles and fatty acid composition. The main essential oil components isolated via hydrodistillation were: trans-anethole (>80%), estragole (<6%), limonene (<6%), anisaldehyde (<1%) and 0.5 % fenchone. An alternative method for characterization of both the non-polar volatile and non volatile fractions was developed using n-hexane and dichloromethane (3:1, v/v) in a Soxhlet extraction followed by transesterification. The obtained extracts were then characterized and the dominant fatty acid was 18:1 (petroselinic and oleic acid) 75.0-82.8 %, followed by 18:2 (linoleic acid) 10.8-16.2% and other fatty acids: palmitic (4.3-6.9%), stearic (1.2-1.7%) and myristic (0-2.9%). The results for the volatile fraction after Soxhlet extraction and transesterification did not significantly differ from results obtained after hydrodistillation, especially for the main components (trans-anethole, estragole, fenchone and limonene), implying that the developed method can be used for simultaneous determination of volatiles and fatty acids.

“…cis-vaccenic acid (n-7) is generally considered a bacterial biomarker because of the abundant production in bacteria (18). cis-vaccenic acid was also observed in Umbelliferae and Meliaceae seed oil (19,20). Differences in total fatty acid composition between American and Asian (Korean and Chinese) ginseng seed oils can be explained by the different ginseng species (genotypes).…”

The chemical characteristics of seed oils of Asian ginseng (Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer) at different ages grown in Korea (3, 4 and 5-year old) and China (5-year old), and American ginseng (Panax quinquefoliu L., 5-year old) grown in China were compared. Total fatty acid composition showed a significantly higher oleic acid content in American (87.50%) than in Korean (68.02～69.14%) and Chinese ginseng seed oils (61.19%). At the sn-2 position, the highest oleic acid (81.09%) and lowest linoleic acid (15.77%) were found in American ginseng seed oil. The main triacylglycerol species in ginseng seed oils were triolein (OOO) and 1,2-dioleoyl-3-linoleoyl-glycerol (LOO)/1,3-dioleoyl-2-linoleoyl-glycerol (OLO). In addition, the seed oils possessed an ideal oxidative stability showing 16.55～23.12 hr of induction time by Rancimat test. The results revealed that ginseng seed oil could be developed as a new healthy edible oil, and that the oil's chemical characteristics were strongly associated with the ginseng species and habitats.
