ABSTRACT

The study assessed the levels of variation in oil content and fatty acid composition among the linseed cultivars, lines and populations of different origins grown in Turkey. The oil content ranged from 23.28 to 40.36% in the experimental materials. Three saturated (C16:0, C18:0 and C20:0) and four unsaturated (C18:1, C18:2, C18:3 and C20:1) fatty acids, identified by GC represented 10.02% and 89.91% of the total oil, respectively. The C18:3 acid content ranged 48.08% to 57.58%. The contents of the C18:1, C18:2, C16:0, and C18:0, acids were 15.81 to 27.99, 11.18 to 16.13, 4.07 to 7.02 and 3.21 to 6.70%, respectively. The C20:0 and C20:1, acids were minor fatty acids in these materials and ranged 0.11 to 0.24 and 0.10 to 0.24%, respectively.
