Lipid composition of grains from wild grasses

Lipid composition of grains from wild grasses

Physicochemical characteristics, fatty acid and sterol composition were studied in grains of Agropyron elongatum, Bromus catharticus, Festuca arundinacea, Stipa hyaline and Panicum maximum. The highest protein level was found in A. elongatum. Linoleic and palmitic acids were the predominant fatty ac...

Description
Summary:Physicochemical characteristics, fatty acid and sterol composition were studied in grains of Agropyron elongatum, Bromus catharticus, Festuca arundinacea, Stipa hyaline and Panicum maximum. The highest protein level was found in A. elongatum. Linoleic and palmitic acids were the predominant fatty acids in all species, β-sitosterol was by far the most prominent sterol component in all samples, while Δ7-stigmasterol was detected in only trace amounts.
