Exploring Phylogenetic Relationships between Hundreds of Plant Fatty Acids Synthesized by Thousands of Plants.
more details ...
Flaxseed oil from 35 different flax varieties was extracted with anhydrous aether. The extracted flaxseed oil was then saponified and esterfied. The composition of fatty acids in flaxseed oil was analyzed by GC-MS. The average content of fatty acids from high to low ranked as linolenic( 41. 62%),oleic acid( 25. 87%),linoleic( 17. 18%),stearic acid( 6. 59%),and palmitic acid( 6. 46%). The total content of unsaturated fatty acids was up to 85%.
