The seeds of 17 cultivars of Saskatoon berries ( Amelanchier alnifolia Nutt.) were evaluated for their seed mass, oil content, fatty acid and triacylglycerol (TAG) composition, tocopherol profile, and sterol content. The oil content of the seeds ranged from 9.4% (cv. 'Pasture') to 18.7% (cv. 'Thiessen'). The seed oils contained mainly linoleic acid in the range from 47.3% (cv. 'Success') to 60.1% (cv. 'Lee 3') and oleic acid in the range from 26.3% (cv. 'Lee 3') to 38.1% (cv. 'Success'). The total tocopherol content ranged from 1053 to 1754 mg/kg of oil. alpha-Tocopherol was the major vitamin E compound in all berry seed oils investigated, accounting for 87% of total tocopherols. The predominant sterols were beta-sitosterol, Delta(5)-avenasterol, and campesterol. The sterols content in seed oil ranged from 7357 mg/kg of oil (cv. 'Success') to 15771 mg/kg of oil (cv. 'Lee 3'). Thirteen triacylglycerols (TAG) were identified in seed oils, among which LLL, LLO, LOO, LLP, LOP (L, linoleoyl; O, oleoyl; P, palmitoyl) represented 88% of the total TAG. TAG composition suggests good oxidative stability of the Saskatoon berry seed oil, which could be suitable for food and industrial applications. Moreover, Saskatoon berry seed oil may serve as potential dietary source of tocopherols, sterols, and unsaturated fatty acids.
对17个萨斯卡通莓(Alnifolia Nutt.花楸)品种的种子进行了评估,分析其种子质量、油含量、脂肪酸和三酰甘油(TAG)组成、生育酚谱以及甾醇含量。种子的油含量在9.4%(品种‘Pasture’)至18.7%(品种‘Thiessen’)之间。种子油主要含有亚油酸,含量在47.3%(品种‘Success’)至60.1%(品种‘Lee 3’)之间,油酸含量在26.3%(品种‘Lee 3’)至38.1%(品种‘Success’)之间。生育酚总含量在1053至1754毫克/千克油之间。α-生育酚是所有研究的莓类种子油中的主要维生素E化合物,占生育酚总量的87%。主要的甾醇是β-谷甾醇、Δ(5)-燕麦甾醇和菜油甾醇。种子油中的甾醇含量在7357毫克/千克油(品种‘Success’)至15771毫克/千克油(品种‘Lee 3’)之间。在种子油中鉴定出13种三酰甘油(TAG),其中LLL、LLO、LOO、LLP、LOP(L,亚油酰基;O,油酰基;P,棕榈酰基)占总TAG的88%。TAG组成表明萨斯卡通莓种子油具有良好的氧化稳定性,适用于食品和工业应用。此外,萨斯卡通莓种子油可能是生育酚、甾醇和不饱和脂肪酸的潜在膳食来源。
