Seed nutrients and bioactive compounds of underutilised oil crop Carthamus tinctorius L.

Seeds of seven different genotypes of underutilised oil crop Carthamus tinctorius L. (Asteraceae) from alternative oil species collection of the Institute of Field and Vegetable Crops (Novi Sad, Serbia), were analysed for their protein, oil, fatty acids, tocopherols and total phenolics contents, wit...

Seeds of the tested safflower genotypes had total protein (determined by Kjeldahl method) content from 11.5 to 16.0%, while total oil content (determined by Soxhlet method) ranged from 16.8 to 24.5% of dry matter, on average. Two main unsaturated fatty acids in safflower seeds, oleic and linoleic acids, represent approximately 90% of the total fatty acid content (determined by gas chromatography). Linoleic acid was the dominant fatty acid in all genotypes (61.2-80.2% of oil), while oleic acid was in a negative correlation with linolenic acid content and ranged from 9.6 to 29.5% of oil. The amount of saturated fatty acids ranged from 5.5 to 6.05% for palmitic, and 2.1 to 3.5% for stearic acid. Safflower seed is a source of a-tocopherol (determined by high performance liquid chromatography method with fluorescence detection) and its amount ranged from 358.8 to 461.8 mg/L of oil. The content of total phenolics (determined spectrophotometrically) ranged from 4.0 to 6.0 mg of gallic acid equivalents/g of dry weight. This comprehensive screening of valuable chemical compounds of safflower seeds shows the importance of this alternative oil seed crop as a good source of important nutrients and bioactive constituents.Kiprovski BiljanaJaćimović SimonaGrahovac NadaZeremski TijanaMarjanović-Jeromela AnaInstitute of field and vegetable crops, Novi Sadarticlealternative oil cropscarthamus tinctorius l.fatty acidsnutritional qualityoilsproteinssafflowertocopherolstotal phenolicsα-tocopherolPlant cultureSB1-1110BiotechnologyTP248.13-248.65ENSRRatarstvo i Povrtarstvo, Vol 58, Iss 2, Pp 46-52 (2021)
