Oil content and fatty acid profile of selected poppy (Papaver somniferum L.) landraces and modern cultivars

Abstract

The oil content and fatty acid composition were determined in the seed of 19 poppy genotypes (both landraces and modern cultivars) grown in three-year field trials. The total oil content ranged from 34.56–44.76%. The oil content in white-seeded genotypes (40.73–44.76%) exceeded the oil content in blue-seeded genotypes (34.56–40.34%) and ocher-seeded genotypes (38.36–42.69%). Linoleic acid (71.41–74.02%), oleic acid (12.35–15.51%) and palmitic acid (8.95–10.29%) were the most abundant fatty acids in the evaluated seeds of poppy genotypes. A significant negative correlation (–0.7574**) was found between linoleic and oleic fatty acids. The sum of polyunsaturated (PUFA), monounsaturated (MUFA) and saturated (SFA) fatty acids ranged from 72.43–74.91%, 12.90–16.14% and 10.99–12.46% of the total fatty acids, respectively. Both the total oil content and the content of individual fatty acids were mainly affected by the crop year (weather conditions); however, the effect of genotype and year × genotype interaction was also significant. Due to the favourable composition of fatty acids, the evaluated poppy genotypes can be<br /> a good source of nutritionally valuable oil.

Monofloral Corn Poppy Bee-Collected Pollen—A Detailed Insight into Its Phytochemical Composition and Antioxidant Properties

“…However, to the best of our knowledge, there are no data for the fatty-acid profile of corn poppy pollen, although there are extensive data on the lipid composition of poppy seeds and some other corn poppy plant parts. Based on the obtained results, it can observed that the lipid fraction of PBP is in line with the available data for poppy seeds, showing significant predominance of unsaturated FAs [56][57][58][59]. Nevertheless, the distribution of single acids differs in bee-collected pollen compared with poppy-seed composition.…”

“…Nevertheless, the distribution of single acids differs in bee-collected pollen compared with poppy-seed composition. For instance, linoleic acid was predominantly found in seed samples [56][57][58], whereas in the case of PBP, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) followed by α-linolenic acid were the main FAs. It has also been documented that α-linolenic acid is one of the predominant FAs in the leaves of corn poppy plants [60].…”

Analysis of Nutritional Characteristics and Willingness to Pay of Consumers for Dry-Cured Sausages (Salchichón) Made with Textured Seed Oils

“…On the other hand, poppy, melon, and pumpkin seed oils contain a major proportion of linoleic acid (ω-6). In the case of poppy seed oil, the content of linoleic acid exceeds 70% [ 17 ], while in melon or pumpkin seed oils, this content usually represents between 40 and 60% [ 18 , 19 ]. The high content of unsaturated fatty acids in these oils gives them a liquid consistency at room temperature.…”
