Fatty Acid Composition, Vitamin A, and Vitamin E Content of Sphaerophysa kotschyana
Abstract
Sphaerophysa kotschyana, which is endemic to Central Anatolia, is included in
the list of plants that must be absolute protected by the Bern Convention. S. kotschyana is important in terms of
functional compounds because of being resistant to salty soil conditions. In
this study, fatty acid components, vitamin A and vitamin E content were
analysed in leaf and fruit of S.
kotschyana. Vitamin A content was found to be 16.8 mg/kg DW herba and 15.85
mg/kg DW fruit. Vitamin E content in the herba was observed to be 84.1 mg/kg DW
and in the fruit 70.6 mg/kg DW. The main component fatty acids were determined
as linoleic acid (72.41%) and palmitic acid (18.20%) in fruit and; oleic acid
(59.12%) and stearic acid (13.42%) in the herba.
