Determination of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids in late peanut cultivation in the eastern Mediterranean

Abstract

In this study; The effects of 11 different peanut cultivars, Runner (Georgia Green) Virginia (NC-7, Masal, Halisbey, Wilson, Com, Brantley, Duzici-1) Spanih (Floripan, Nigeria-1) saturated and unsaturated fatty acids, widely grown in the eastern Mediterranean Transition Zone. The research was carried out for two years (2020 to 2021) under late crop conditions in the trial areas of the Oil Seeds Research Institute Directorate. The experiment was set up in a randomized block design with 3 replications. In the research, palmitic acid, Stearic acid, arochidonic acid, Oleic acid, Linoleic acid, Oleic/Linoleic Ratio, Iodin Value, behenic acid, arachidic acid properties were investigated. The highest oleic acid ratio was obtained from Masal (79.71%), the highest palmitic acid from florispan (11.06%) and the highest linoleic acid (34.08%) from florispan. Behenic acid ratio was found between 2.51% (Wilson) and 3.14% (Georgia Green).
