Abstract: | In order to research on the differences in oil content and fatty acid compositon of walnut in Guangxi, a total of 31 samples screened from 7 counties including Bama, Fengshan, Tian''e, Nandan, Leye, Tianlin, and Longlin were studied. Results: the seed oil content was 56.9%~65.1%, of which Fengshan 004 had the highest oil content, 65.1%, followed by Nandan 004, 64.1%, and Fengshan 002 oil content. Five fatty acid components, including palmitic acid, stearic acid, linoleic acid, linoleic acid, linoleic acid and oleic acid, were determined for walnut from different regions in Guangxi, with palmitic acid content ranging from 4.09% to 8.36% and stearic acid 10.57% to 45.09 %, linoleic acid 45.88%~77.26%, linolenic acid 3.16~10.28%, oleic acid 0.3%~2.44%. The oil content and fatty acid composition of fruits are used to evaluate walnuts from different origins, which is the basis for the regional brand creation of walnut. |
