Abstract
There is a demand in the food industry for natural solid vegetable oils. The use of sunflower oil with a high content of stearic acid prevents its hydrogenation in the manufacture of food products. The development of new lines of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) with an increased content of stearic acid may increase the demand for sunflower oil, a useful analogue of solid vegetable oils for special food purposes. We identified two inbred lines with a high content of stearic and oleic acids from a source with a high content of these acids, one of which, I5HSHO-1, is one-headed, the other, I5HSHO-2v, is many-branched, as well as two one-headed lines with high content of stearic acid on the linoleic background (I5HSLO-1, I5HSLO-2).
