Habitat effects on yield, fatty acid composition and tocopherol contents of prickly pear (Opuntia ficus-indica L.) seed oils
چکیده انگلیسی

In this study, oil yields, fatty acid composition and tocopherol contents of prickly pear seeds were determined. The oil contents of the seeds of prickly pear (Opuntia ficus-indica) varied from 5.0% (Ortaören) to 14.4% (Eskioba). Palmitic acid contents of seed oils ranged between 10.6% (Mut) and 12.8% (Kepez). While seed oils contained 13.0% (Hatay-2) to 23.5% (Kepez) oleic acid, its linoleic contents ranged between 49.3% (Kepez) and 62.1% (Hatay-2). Also, stearic acid contents of oils were found at the levels between 3.3% (Kozan and Şevkiye) and 5.4% (Kepez). The tocopherol contents of prickly pear seed oils were determined by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). β-Tocopherol contents of oils ranged between 3.9% (Eskioba) and 50.0% (Adana centrum).


► Prickly pear (Opuntia ficus-indica L.) is a tropical.
► Cactus pear grows wild in arid and semiarid regions.
► Cactus pear seed oil was rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids.
► Cactus pear fruits play an important role in human diet.
► Cactus pear fruits are consumed mainly in the fresh state.
