Abstract
|
|
|
|
Some fatty acids(palmitic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid and linolenic acid) in foxtail millet seeds were evaluated. In this study, 32 varieties of accession collected from different place of South Korea were used in order to evaluate their fatty acid composition and concentration. These samples were analyzed by GC with HP20 column. Significant variability in individual fatty acids was observed. The palmitic acid ranged from 10.9 to 13.5%, stearic acid from 2.5 to 8.3%, oleic acid from 10.0 to 15.8%, linoleic acid from 62.5 to 67.9% and linolenic acid ranged from 3.0 to 5.2%. This variability can be exploited for selection of plant and for studying the genetic variability in millet. These selections can also be utilized for genetic improvement of the crops.
