Abstract
This work identifies fatty acid compositions of 7 pistachio varieties
(Pistacia vera L.) from G. Antep and Siirt (southeastern Turkey) and 9
walnut (Juglans regia L.) genotypes from Denizli (western Turkey).
Pistachio varieties contained 57.77 % oil, 8.73 % palmitic acid, 0.81
palmitoleic acid, 2.26 % stearic acid, 71.90 % oleic acid, 14.91 %
linoleic acid, 0.88 % linolenic acid, 0.08 % myristic acid, 0.11 % arachidic
acid and 0.21 % gadoleic acid, respectively. Walnut genotypes contained
65.57 % oil, 5.80 % palmitic acid, 0.16 palmitoleic acid, 2.65 % stearic
acid, 59.85 % oleic acid, 14.20 % linoleic acid, 0.88 % linolenic acid,
0.08 % myristic acid, 0.11 % arachidic acid and 0.21 % gadoleic acid,
respectively. The mean ratio of unsaturated fatty acids and saturated
fatty acids was 8.02 for pistachio varieties and 11.0 for walnut genotypes.
