Variation in lipid composition of niger seed (Guizotia abyssinica Cass.) Samples collected from different regions in ethiopia

Abstract: Niger seed samples were collected from different regions in Ethiopia for determination of oil content, and of fatty acid, tocopherol and sterol composition in the seed oil by gas‐liquid chromatography and high‐performance liquid chromatography methods. There was a large variation in oil content, ranging from 29 to 39%. More than 70% of the fatty acids was linoleic acid (18∶2) in all samples analyzed. The other predominant fatty acids were palmitic (16∶0), stearic (18∶0) and oleic (19∶1) at a range of 6 to 11% … Show more

“…Also the percentage of the other TAG molecular species seems to be in good agreement with the fatty acid distribution in the corresponding samples: besides LLL, PLL, POL and OLL appear as the other relevant triglycerides. Apart from a slight but significant variation in the OLL and OOO content, the triglyceridic distribution is quite the same for all the oils, irrespective of the geographical origin.The sterol distribution of the Ethiopian oils resembles those of the samples analyzed by Dutta et al [5], while that of the Indian samples has not been already published in the literature. As long as the Indian samples are concerned, we show that the campesterol content (and to a lesser extent the percentages of β-sitosterol and ∆ 5 -avenasterol) is significantly different, passing from a region to another.…”

“…Elution was conducted using isooctane/1,4-dioxane 97:3 (v/v) as the mobile phase at a flow rate of 2 ml/min; the column was thermostated at 30 °C. ChromQuest software was used for calculating peak areas and standard tocopherol samples (Merck) have been eluted to identify the individual peaks: the total tocopherol content was quantitated as the sum of all the individual peaks identified [5]. …”

“…The fatty acid composition of niger seed has been the subject of comparative investigations. DUTTA et al (1994) mentioned that, in the samples collected from different regions in Ethiopia, more than 70% of the fatty acids was linoleic acid (C18:2n-6). The other predominant fatty acids were palmitic (C16:0), stearic (C18:0), and oleic (C18:1n-9) acids in a range of 6 to 11% each.…”

“…The concentration of ST in edible oils has been reported to be little affected by the environmental factors and/or by cultivation of new breeding lines (HIR-SINGER 1989;HOMBERG 1991). Furthermore, phytosterols are of interest due to their antioxidant activity and health benefits (DUTTA et al 1994;RICHARDSON 1996). Recently, phytosterols have been added to vegetable oils to provide an example of a successful functional food (NTANIOS 2001).…”
