Proximate Compositions and Fatty Acid Profiles of Promising Almond (Prunus amygdalus L.) Genotypes Selected from Yesilyurt (Malatya) Region

Öz

This research was carried out to determine various proximate chemical properties and fatty acid profiles of ten promising almond genotypes selected from the Yeşilyurt district of Malatya province. The ratio of crude oil was minimum in YSY-14 (53.10%) and maximum in YSY-22 (66.42%) genotypes, however, the ratio of protein was minimum in YSY-54 (63.1%) and maximum in YSY-68 (26.79%) genotypes. In the study oleic acid, linoleic acid, palmitic acid, palmitoleic acid, and stearic acid, the content of the selected genotypes were ranged from 71.09% (YSY-15) to 79.49% (YSY-61), 11.04% (YSY-61) to 18.75% (YSY-59), 5.47% (YSY-68) to 6.65% (YSY-62), 0.56% (YSY-22) to 0.72% (YSY-14), 1.07% (YSY-50) to 1.64% (YSY-54), respectively. Besides, they had 86.85% - 91.39% unsaturated fatty acid content, 6.65% - 7.95% saturated fatty acid content, and 11.05-13.26% unsaturated fatty acid/saturated fatty acid ratio.
