DETERMINATION AND COMPARISON OF FATTY ACIDS OF HELICHRYSUM ARENARIUM PLANT IN TWO DIFFERENT REGIONS

Abstract

In this study, fatty acid compositions were determined and compared using Helichrysum arenarium plant in two different regions. Although the fatty acid levels of Helichrysum arenarium plant around Bitlis Nemrut Crater Lake were determined as ?PUFA 12.45 %, ?MUFA 27.12 %, ?USFA 39.56 % and ?SFA 60.26 %, fatty acid levels of Helichrysum arenarium plant belonging to the mountainous areas of Şebinkarahisar district of Giresun were determined as ?PUFA 32.21 %, ?MUFA 14.75 %, ?USFA 46.97 % and ?SFA 52.69 %. The basic fatty acid content of Helichrysum arenarium plant around Bitlis Nemrut Crater Lake; 23.85 % Palmiteloic acid (16:1), 20.28 % Palmitic acid (16:0), 10.12 % Stearic acid (18:0), 6.50 % Heptadecanoic acid (17:0) and 6.01% Linolenic acid (18:2n6c) were detected. The basic fatty acid content of Helichrysum arenarium plant belonging to the mountainous areas of Şebinkarahisar district of Giresun; 27.61 % Cis-4,7,10,13,16,19-docosahexaenoic acid (22:6n3), 13.03 % Palmitic acid (16:0), 12.53 % Palmiteloic acid (16:1), 8.84 % Stearic acid (18:1), 7.93 % Heptadecanoic acid (17:0) and 6.55 % Myristic acid (14:0) were detected.
