Abstract

The lipids of the seeds and of extracts of the leaves and flowers ofCalendula officinalis L., fam. Asteraceae, have been analyzed. The amount of neutral lipids in the seeds was 15.7%, that of phospholipids 0.6%, and that of glycolipids 0.9%. Among the fatty acids of the neutral lipids of the seeds, in addition to the usual components, we found the 18∶3 (trans-8, trans-10, cis-12) acid that is characteristic for the Calendulae tribe.
