The Lipid Content In The Seeds Of Brassicaceae Burnett Family

Abstract

The goal of this paper is to demonstrate a potential of energetic value of seeds of oil plants collected in the M.M. Gryshko National Botanical Garden of the NAS of Ukraine. In the present study lipid and caloric content of cultivars and varieties of Brassica campestris D.C., Brassica junceae (L.) Czern., Brassica napus D.C., Brassica rapa subsp. rapifera Metzger, Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz and Sinapis alba L. are described. Studing of seeds of 19 samples of investigated plants was carried out by method of extraction with petroleum ether equipped with Soxhlet extractor. Content of lipids was determined in range from 17.72% (Brassica campestris f. annua D.C., cv. Pioner) to 37.61% (Brassica napus f. annua D.C., cv.s. Yamal). Comparing of Brassica campestris plants showed that winter varieties had higher level of lipids in seeds and was in range from 28.35 to 34.48%. In the spring varieties the same parameter was in range from 17.72 to 29.00%. Identification of energetic value was made by method of combustion in the oxygen and was determined in range from 5,039.33 Kcal/kg (Brassica campestris f. annua) to 6,108.00 Kcal/kg (Brassica napus f. annua D.C., cv.s. Yamal). Content of calories in the seeds of winter varieties of Brassica campestris was from 5,530.40 to 6,045.67 Kcal/kg and in spring varieties -from 5,381.33 to 5,659.11 Kcal/kg.

Comparative Study of Biochemical Composition of Paulownia tomentosa (Thunb.) Steud. Genotypes

“…Lipids are one of the most important components of plant cells and act as signaling and energy storage compounds (Suh et al, 2015;Hou et al, 2016). The content of lipids in the plant is one of the most essential parameters that determine the nutritional value of raw and varies depending on the species and part of the plant (Vergun et al, 2017;Vergun et al, 2020). The content of lipids in raw P. tomentosa genotypes was from 5.01 to 8.58% in the leaves, from 3.69 to 6.52% in the branches, and from 2.0 to 6.14% in the trunks (Figure 2).…”

Antioxidant Potential of Selected Oil Plants of Brassicaceae Burnett

“…According to our previous data concerning to biochemical properties of Brassicaceae, seeds of these plants are the rich source of lipids (17.72-37.61%). Also, plant raw material characterized by an energetic value of 5,039.33-6,108.00 KcaL.kg -1 (Vergun et al, 2017a).…”

Content of Nutrients in Different Parts of Ipomoea batatas L. (Lam.)

“…The highest content of it is identified in the leaves of f. 3 plants. Lipids are important biochemical compounds that play numerous biological functions and accumulated in the seeds (Vergun et al, 2017), leaves, stems, rhizomes (Andrushchenko et al, 2018), tubers (Ramadan and Oraby, 2016), etc.…”
