Variations in fatty acid composition during maturation of cumin (Cuminum cyminum L.) seeds

Abstract: Changes in fatty acids were studied during maturation of cumin (Cuminum cyminum L.) seeds cultivated in the North-Eastern region of Tunisia (Menzel Temim). The fruits matured in 49 Days after flowering (DAF). The first results show a rapid oil accumulation started in newly formed fruits (8.2%) and continued until their full maturity (16.9%). During fruit maturation, fatty acid profiles varied significantly among the three stages of maturity. Fruits development resulted mainly in an increase of petroselinic aci… Show more

“…The oils from C. cyminum populations fruits were characterized by the presence of a high proportion of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids. Our findings are similar to the previous studies (Bettaib et al, 2012;Rebey et al, 2012;Rebey et al, 2013;Keskin and Baydar, 2016;Milica et al, 2016;Hajib et al, 2018). Oil samples from two species were rich in petroselenic acid (29-55 %).…”

“…Considering linoleic acid and other polyunsaturated fatty acids profiles, our finding is similar to Milica et al (2016) and Hajib et al (2018). Nevertheless, some other studies reported lower values than our research (Bettaib et al, 2012;Rebey et al, 2012;Rebey et al, 2013). The saturated fatty acids (lauric and palmitic acids acids) exhibited a vast variability (15.13-37.08 %).…”
