General characteristics of Pinus spp. Seed fatty acid compositions, and importance of Δ5‐olefinic acids in the taxonomy and phylogeny of the genus

Abstract: The delta5-unsaturated polymethylene-interrupted fatty acid (delta5-UPIFA) contents and profiles of gymnosperm seeds are useful chemometric data for the taxonomy and phylogeny of that division, and these acids may also have some biomedical or nutritional applications. We recapitulate here all data available on pine (Pinus; the largest genus in the family Pinaceae) seed fatty acid (SFA) compositions, including 28 unpublished compositions. This overview encompasses 76 species, subspecies, and varieties, which is… Show more

“…The fact that the two least affected volunteers were men is in agreement with another report that shows females to be more frequently affected than men [1]. The accredited gas chromatographic analysis of the individual fatty acids present in the pine nuts was compared with literature data [7]. The results showed a perfect match with P. armandii.…”

“…Long-chain PUFAs (ՆC20) are not commonly found in angiosperms; however, they are present in some gymnosperms (3). High proportions of PUFA accumulation are found in many algae, mosses, and ferns (4 -6).…”

“…No biological activity has been reported to date for the most encountered dienoic 20:2 and 22:2 NMI fatty acids, except for Δ5,9-NMI fatty acids, which exhibit interesting antiplasmodial activity 3 . The most promising fatty acid topoisomerase I inhibitors to date seem to be the longchain Δ5,9-NMI dienoic acids such as Δ5,9-23:2 34 .…”

“…Fatty acids with unique structures that contain nonmethylene-interrupted NMI double bonds in their molecules occur widely as minor components in marine organisms such as mollusks, algae, echinoderms, sponge, tropical rays, and many other invertebrates 1,2 , while NMI acids with Δ5 unsaturation occur systematically in gymnosperm seed oils 3 . The content of NMI fatty acids in algae is generally very low 0.5 of the total fatty acids 4 7 , but a considerable amount of 5,11,14-20:3 acid 3.0 4.2 was found in Ascophyllum nodosum, order Fucales 4 .…”
