Lipid Composition and Molecular Speciation of the Triacylglycerol of the Oil of Picralima Nitida (in English)

Öz

The seed of Picralima nitida was analyzed for the proximate and mineral composition while its oil was chemically evaluated. The crude protein content was found as 10.20±0.50 % while the carbohydrate content was 74.53±0.50 %. The iodine and saponification values were found as 136.40±1.00 and 198.25±0.30 mg KOH/g, respectively. Potassium (114.00±0.20 ppm) was the dominant mineral in the seed while calcium (91.00±0.20 ppm) was the dominant mineral in the oil. C18:1 (50.65±0.2 %) was the major fatty acid while the neutral lipids (96.30±0.50 %) were the predominant lipid class. The molecular speciation of the triacylglycerol revealed the presence of molecular species with equivalent carbon chain number C38 (20.38±0.1 %) as the most abundant species. Monogalactosylmonoacylglycerol (67.95±0.10 %) and phosphatidyl choline (66.30±0.10 %) were the main glycolipids and phospholipids found in the oil. Sterols and hydrocarbons were identified in the unsaponifiable matter of the oil using GC-MS.

Picralima Nitida Yağının Lipit Kompozisyonu ve Trigliserit Yapısı (İngilizce)

Öz

Picralima nitida tohumunun bileşim ve mineral analizleri yapılmış ve elde edilen yağlarının kimyasal bileşimleri araştırılmıştır. Tohumda ham protein % 10.20±0.50 olarak tespit edilirken, karbohidrat içeriği % 74.53±0.50 oranında bulunmuştur. İyot ve sabunlaşma sayıları sırasıyla 136.40±1.00 ve 198.25±0.30 mg KOH/g değerlerindedir. Tohumun temel minerali potasyum iken (114.00±0.20 ppm), yağda temel mineral kalsiyumdur (91.00±0.20 ppm). Yağda nötral lipit % 96.30±0.50 oranında hesaplanırken, temel yağ asidi olaik asittir (% 50.65±0.2). Eşdeğer karbon sayısına göre analiz edilen trigliseritlerde C38 trigliseridi en yüksek orana sahiptir (% 20.38 ±0.1). Yağın temel glikolipidi monogalatozilmonogliserol iken (% 67.95±0.10), temel fosfolipidi ise fosfotidil kolindir (% 66.30±0.10). Sterol ve hidrokarbonlar ise GC-MS kullanılarak belirlenmiştir.
