Fatty acid compositions of sunflowers (helianthus annuus L.) grown in east mediterranean region
(INNOVHUB - Stazioni Sperimentali per l'Industria S.r.l - Area Oli e Grassi, 2018) Akkaya, M.R.
Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) is a widely cultivated crop on Earth. Although the fatty acid composition mainly depends on genotypic properties of sunflower, ecological properties and climate are also effective on the fatty acid composition. Sunflower oil is classified in three types; standard, mid and high-oleic acid containing types. This study was performed to determine the fatty acid composition of oils extracted from sunflowers grown in East Mediterranean region. Samples were taken from 6 different sunflower varieties planted in three different locations during the harvest season. Oleic acid contents of oils extracted from sunflowers were 41.04-46.15% for standard-oleic acid types and 81.99% for high-oleic acid containing type in average. Average linoleic acid contents were 40.72- 46.73% for standard-oleic type and 8.16% for high-oleic acid type. The results of this study showed that oils extracted from sunflower grown in East Mediterranean region had higher oleic acid content. Pre-sowing sunflower seeds classified in standard type turned out to be mid-oleic acid type when grown in this region. © 2018, INNOVHUB - Stazioni Sperimentali per l'Industria S.r.l - Area Oli e Grassi.
