( <b>Laurus nobilis </b> L.) <span>populations </span> of Turkey between
2013-2015. Laurel ( <b>Laurus nobilis </b>
L.) populations in flora of Turkey were used in this study. Fruit samples were
collected from 100 different locations where spread Mediterranean, Aegean,
Blacksea and Marmara Regions. While fresh fruit weight varied from 0.48 to 1.72
g, average fruit weight was found 1.06 g. Fruit samples were collected, dried,
oils extracted by soxhlet and oil yields were determined. Oil yields changed
between 19.37-35.87% in dried furits. Oils were analyzed by GC/MS and their
chemical compounds were identified. 15-16 components were characterized in oils
according to samples. Oleic acid, linoleic acid, lauric acid and palmitic acid
were determined as the main components in oils and their ratio changed between
24.22-64.81%, 18.49-28.09%, 10.28-33.62% and 10.15-21.25%, respectively in the
samples. </span> </i> </p>}, number={1}, publisher={Aegean Agricultural Research Institute}
