The fatty acid composition of five endemic Bupleurum (Apiaceae) species was analysed by GC technique for their nutritional value. The amount of oil content of the species varied from 3.77% to 7.03%. Twenty-one fatty acids were identified in the oils. The fatty acid composition of the studied species contained oleic, palmitic and linoleic acids as the major components. Oleic acid ranged from 8.81% to 68.30%, while the levels of palmitic acid were found to be between 12.47% and 47.85%. Bupleurum lycaonicum, Bupleurum sulphureum and Bupleurum heldreichii are very good sources of oleic acid. The remaining species were characterised as containing the highest level of palmitic acid. In this study, the total saturated fatty acids ranged between 15.02 and 65.20%, while total monounsaturated fatty acids were between 18.10 and 70.65%. The total polyunsaturated fatty acid accounted for 13.47-35.20% of the studied fatty acids. Therefore, we can conclude that Bupleurum oils have a significant nutritional value.
采用 GC 技术分析了 5 种中国特有柴胡属（伞形科）植物的脂肪酸组成，以评估其营养价值。各物种的含油量在 3.77%至 7.03%之间。在油中鉴定出 21 种脂肪酸。研究物种的脂肪酸组成含有油酸、棕榈酸和亚油酸等主要成分。油酸含量范围为 8.81%至 68.30%，而棕榈酸的水平在 12.47%至 47.85%之间。Bupleurum lycaonicum、Bupleurum sulphureum 和 Bupleurum heldreichii 是油酸的极好来源。其余物种的特征是含有最高水平的棕榈酸。在本研究中，总饱和脂肪酸含量在 15.02%至 65.20%之间，而总单不饱和脂肪酸含量在 18.10%至 70.65%之间。研究脂肪酸中总多不饱和脂肪酸占 13.47-35.20%。因此，我们可以得出结论，柴胡油具有重要的营养价值。
