Changes in Glycerolpipids and their Fatty Acids Composition During Maturation of Coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) Fruits
Abstract
Abstract Coriander fruits were harvested at three stages of maturity from Menzel Temime region. Oil yield and glycerolipid fractions were studied. The first results showed that oil yield increased significantly (P<0.05) during fruit maturation. At full ripeness neutral lipids (NL) quantities were higher than those of polar lipids (PL) and represented mainly by the triacylglycerol (TAG) fraction (96.67 ± 10.41 %) which was accumulated dramatically during fruit maturation. During...
