Determination of The Fatty Acid Composition of Some Taxon of the Apiaceae Family

Abstract

The aim of the study was to determine the fatty oil ratio and fatty acid components of 19 taxa, of which 6 are endemic and belong to the Apiaceae family, naturally distributed in the Isparta and Burdur provinces. In the study, the fruits of the Ammi visnaga, Angelica sylvestris, Bifora radians, Echinophora tournefortii, Echinophora tenuifolia subsp sibthorpiana, Echinophora trichophylla (endemic), Foeniculum vulgare, Ferulago cassia, Ferulago pauciradiata (endemic), Glaucosciadium cordifolium, Heracleum platytaenium (endemic), Hippomarathrum cristatum, Hippomarathrum microcarpum, Laser trilobum, Opopanax hispidus, Pastinaca sativa subsp urens, Peucedanum chryseum (endemic), Prangos platychlaena (endemic), and Prangos uechtritzii (endemic) were used as materials. The fatty oil ratios of the species were determined by NMR, and the fatty acid components were determined by the GC/FID instrument. In the study, the fatty oil ratios of the species varied from 4.0% to 27.6%. A total of 43 different fatty acids were identified, mainly palmitic acid, stearic acid, petroselinic acid, oleic acid, and cisvaccinic acid fatty acids. Most of the fatty oils of the taxa consisted of oleic acid, linoleic acid, and petroselinic fatty acids. Therefore the taxa investigated in the study are believed to be rich in fatty oil content and unsaturated fatty acids and can be used as an oil source in the future.
