Seed Lipids from Pulmonaria obscura

Abstract

The compositions of lipids, fatty acids (FAs), and triacylglycerides (TAG) from seeds of Pulmonaria obscura growing in the Republic of Bashkortostan were studied. The contents of neutral (NL) and polar lipids and the composition of FAs of all acyl-containing NL classes were identified and determined. The largest amounts of polyunsaturated FAs were concentrated in total NL (88.9%, including γ-18:3, 24.3; α-18:3, 10.4; and 18:4, 3.5%) and TAG (85.3%, including γ-18:3, 21.4; α-18:3, 10.7; and 18:4, 3.5%). The speciation (39 species > 0.5%) and type (three types) of TAG were established using pancreatic hydrolysis.
