Lipid composition of ten edible seed species from North Vietnam

Abstract

The lipid composition and oil content of ten edible seed species from North Vietnam (Cassia tora, Ipomoea aquatica, Raphanus sativus, Citrullus lanatus, Cucumis melo, Cucurbita pepo, Luffa cylindrica, Phaseolus vulgaris, Vigna aurea, Sesamum orientale) have been investigated. The contents of hydrocarbon, triacylglycerol, free fatty acid, sterol, di-and monoglycerol, and polar lipid fractions have been determined with a thin-layer chromatography (TLC)/flame-ionization detection analyzer. Molecular species of hydrogenated triacylglycerols and the fatty acid composition of total lipids also have been analyzed by capillary gas-liquid chromatography. The quantities of major phospholipid classes of four seed species (C. tora, I. aquatica, R. sativus, V. aurea) have been determined by two-dimentional TLC and the spectrophotometrical phosphorus analysis. The fatty acid compositions of nonpolar and polar lipid fractions of these four species also have been analyzed. JAOCS 72, 957-961 (1995).

Fatty acid composition and antioxidant activity of oils from two cultivars of Cantaloupe extracted by supercritical fluid extraction

“…Saccharinus oil. Hemavatahy (1992) and Imbs and Pham (1995) also observed linoleic acid as the principal fatty acid followed by oleic acid from the oil extracted from an unspecified variety of musk melon.…”

“…The proximate composition of the seeds or seed kernels of the Cucumis melo from different origin and varieties has been reported (Teotia and Ramakrishna 1984;Kaur et al 1988;Tekin and Velioglu, 1993). as well as the fatty acid composition of the seed oil from Egypt (El-Magoli et al 1979), India (Hemavatahy 1992), Sudan (Mariod et al 2008) and Vietnam (Imbs and Pham, 1995). Maria et al (2001) showed that the oil of Cucumis melo contains myristic acid (0.3%), stearic acid (6.1%), palmitic acid (8.5%), oleic acid (31%) and linoleic acid (51%).…”

Proximate composition of seeds and seed oils from melon (Cucumis meloL.) cultivated in Bulgaria

“…It possesses high nutritional value due to its high content of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA). The data from the previous studies show that the main component of the melon seed oil is the linoleic acid (31.0-69.0%), followed by the oleic (12.1-31.0%), palmitic (7.8-39.36%), and stearic acid (4.9-10.45%) (Albishri, Almaghrabi, & Moussa, 2013;Azhari et al, 2014;de Mello et al, 2000de Mello et al, , 2001Imbs & Pham, 1995;Jacks et al, 1972;Lazos, 1986;Mariod & Matthäus, 2008;Mian-Hao & Yansong, 2007;Milovanović & Pićurić-Jovanović, 2005;Yanty, Lai, Osman, Long & Ghazali, 2008).…”

“…Melon seed oil is rich in biologically active substances such as tocopherols, sterols, phospholipids, which determine its beneficial effect on the human organism (Azhari et al, 2014;Imbs & Pham, 1995;Mariod & Matthäus, 2008). The information about the lipid composition of the melon seeds concerns mainly the physicochemical characteristics and the fatty acid composition of the oils, while the data obtained vary depending on the type of the tested seeds and on the region they originate from (Albishri et al, 2013;Azhari et al, 2014;de Mello et al, 2001;Ibeto, Okoye, & Ofoefule, 2012;Jacks et al, 1972;Lazos, 1986;Mian-Hao & Yansong, 2007;Milovanović & Pićurić-Jovanović, 2005;Obasi et al, 2012;Yanty et al, 2008).…”

Fatty Acid, Tocopherol, Sterol Compositions and Antioxidant Activity of Three Garcinia Seed Oils

“…Comparatively, the third species G. gaudichaudii was lack of bioactivity report. Plant seeds are important oil sources of nutritional and pharmaceutical industries, and therefore detailed knowledge of the chemical composition of seed oil is very important for their application [11,12]. However, the comprehensive constitution of Garcinia seed oils is still poorly investigated.…”
