Vitamin and fatty acid contents in seeds of some taxa belonging to genusLathyrusL. growing in Turkey

Abstract

Abstract.-In the present study, levels of vitamin and fatty acid composition in mature seeds of some Lathyrus L. taxa [L. roseus Stev., L. tuberosus L.,var. affinis (Guss.) Arcang.] were determined by using HPLC (high-performance liquid chromatography) and VPC (vapour gas chromatography). Palmitic acid (C16:0), stearic acid (C18:0), oleic acid (C18:1 n-9), linoleic acid (C18:2 n-6) and α-linolenic acid (C18:3 n-3) were found as major fatty acid components in all studied eleven taxa. In addition, δ-tocopherol, α-tocopherol, α-tocopherol acetate and vitamin D3 were found highest level and retinol, retinol acetate, vitamin D2 and vitamin C content (apart from L. belinensis and L. hirsutus) were found lowest ratio in the examined Lathyrus taxa. Key words : Lathyrus -fatty acids -vitamins -HPLC -VPC. Résumé.-Dans la présente étude, les niveaux en vitamines et en acides gras des graines adultes de Lathyrusvar. affinis (Guss.) Arcang.] ont été déterminés par chromatographie (CLHP et CG). Les acides palmitique (C16:0), stéarique (C18:0), oléique (C18:1 n-9), linoléique (C18:2 n-6) et α-linolénique (C18:3 n-3) ont été observés comme constituants des onze taxons étudiés. En plus, les δ-tocopherol, α-tocophérol, acétate de l'α-tocophérol et la vitamine D3 ont été trouvés en plus grande quantité, les rétinol, acétate de rétinol, vitamine D2 et vitamine C le l'ont été en quantité faible (sauf L. belinensis et L. hirsutus) pour les Lathyrus examinés.

Diversity for vitamin and amino acid content in grass pea (Lathyrus sativus L.)

“…The finding of our study indicate that retinol contents were lower than those reported for Lathyrus species studied by Sahin et al (2009). Ascorbic acid contents were higher than that reported for Lathyrus maritimus by Chavan et al (1999) but were similar to findings of Sahin et al (2009) and -carotene contents were found higher than that of Chavan et al (1999).…”

“…Ascorbic acid contents were higher than that reported for Lathyrus maritimus by Chavan et al (1999) but were similar to findings of Sahin et al (2009) and -carotene contents were found higher than that of Chavan et al (1999). The vitamin content of plant species is related to certain factors, such as genetic features and ecological conditions (Munzuroglu et al, 2000).…”

“…The lowest vitamin B and vitamin C content were found in LS-105 genotype while the highest vitamin B and vitamin C were found in İptaþ variety (Figure 1). Sahin et al (2009) reported that in Lathyrus species, retinol and ascorbic acid contents were in the range of 0.03 to 1.05 µg/g and 0.794 to 23.779 µg/g respectively. Chavan et al (1999) found that the contents of ascorbic acid, -carotene, folic acid, riboflavin, thiamine and niacin in seeds of Lathyrus maritimus L. were 1.60; 12.17; 0.08; 0.06; 0.59 and 3.44 mg/100 g, respectively.…”

Seed fatty acid compositions of someLathyrustaxa growing in Turkey

“…This fatty acid is reported as very constant lipid constituent in the most of the leguminous genera seed oil (Bağcı et al, 2004;Bağcı, 2006). Several studies from Leguminoseae reported that palmitic acid (C16:0) ranged 18.5-32.6% in the Astragalus (Adıgüzel et al, 2006), 3.8-19.4% in the Vicia (Akpınar et al, 2001) and 11.4-21.4% (Bağcı & Şahin, 2004;Şahin et al, 2009;Emre et al, 2010) in the Lathyrus taxa. Stearic acid is second major saturated fatty acid (2.9-7.1%).…”

The Lipide Soluble Vitamin Contents of Some Onobrychis Miller Taxa

“…Arslan (2017) indicated that legumes include K vitamin together with vitamin B1, B2, B6, vitamin C, vitamin E. Furthermore, it was found that studied O. species have high D3 content (66.7±1.2-36.7±1.1 µg/g) in this study. Sahin et al (2009) found that Lathyrus taxa, the other genus of legumes, have high vitamin D3. Also, they determined that Lathyrus has high δ-tocopherol, αtocopherol, α-tocopherol acetate contents (Sahin et al 2009).…”
