Abstract
|
|
|
|
Fatty acids analysis was carried out with mulberry seed. As a result, palmitic acid, stearic acid, oleic cid and linoleic acid were detected as a major fatty acid. Their rates of composition were 8.8${\pm}$3.3, 4.2${\pm}$1.6, 5.8${\pm}$2.3 and 81.2${\pm}$6.9(％), respectively. The unsaturated fatty acids such as oleic acid and linoleic acid were abundant in mulberry seed. Paticularly, five accessions including ‘Gukkwang’, ‘Jaelaenosang’, ‘Sangbansibmunja (Jeonnam) ’, ‘Neunggeum’ and ‘Suwonnosang’ were observed only with linoleic acid. Unsaturated fatty acids are known to have physiological effects decreasing the serum cholesterol. From the above result, we confirm that mulberry fruits have abundant unsaturated fatty acids and anthocyanin pigments, and they are of great value as functional food resources.
