Determination of fatty acid profile and antioxidant activity of Rosehip seeds from Turkey
Abstract
Rosa canina is a less known horticulture plant that its fruits are the source of phytochemicals and have medicinal properties. However, it can be cultivated commercially like other fruit trees. In this study, fatty acid composition and antioxidant capacity of rosehip seeds were investigated. The results indicated that seeds are rich in Omega-6 fatty acids (51.49%). Linoleic acid, oleic acid, α-linolenic acid, and palmitic acid are the main fatty acids in rosehip seed oils, respectively. Moreover, the ratio of ω-6 fatty acids: ω-3 fatty acid ratio which is in desirable range for qualified oil. The seeds also showed high antioxidant activity (130.64 mgTE/100g)
