Determination of Some Quality Characteristics of the Coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) Plant Grown in Different Locations

Abstract

This study examined how ecological variation influences key quality traits of coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.). The research was conducted under two contrasting environments, referred to here as the Türkiye (Erzurum) and the Hungary location (Budapest), using the Gürbüz cultivar at both sites. Seed oil content was significantly higher at the Türkiye location (25.82%), whereas protein content did not differ significantly between locations. In terms of mineral composition, seeds from the Türkiye location contained higher concentrations of potassium, calcium, and zinc, while phosphorus levels were higher at the Hungary location. Fatty acid analysis showed that petroselinic acid, a compound of notable industrial value, was more abundant at the Türkiye location (72.24%), whereas linoleic acid content was higher at the Hungary location (21.27%). Although total unsaturated fatty acids remained high at both locations, the relative proportions of individual fatty acids varied, indicating that local climatic and edaphic conditions shape the nutritional and biochemical composition of coriander.
