To evaluate the similarities among fatty acid compositions of vegetable oils sold in the Brazilian market and those present in a reference health product used to treat wounds.
The relative amounts of fatty acids in 21 types of vegetable oils, purchased in the Brazilian market, were assessed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and flame ionization detection.
The studied oils had similar fatty acid compositions to the reference product (caprylic acid, 18.8%; capric acid, 17.4%; oleic acid, 27.5%; and linoleic acid, 28.1%). The presence of caprylic acid (10.45% ± 0.07%), capric acid (5.8% ± 0.75%), lauric acid (45.63% ± 0.93%), and myristic acid (16.33% ± 2.23%) were detected in all the vegetable oils tested. Oleic acid (52.94% ± 12.54%) was present in andiroba, avocado, canola, copaiba, olive, palm, pequi, and pracaxi oils and featured prominently in olive oil (75.8%). Linoleic acid (57.09% ± 8.47%) was present in corn, cottonseed, grapeseed, passion fruit, and sunflower oils and in mixed oils (olive with soybean and sunflower with corn and canola).
Most of the vegetable oils tested are products of plants from tropical climates, where they are abundant and easy to cultivate. It is possible that a balanced composition of fatty acids obtained from natural sources could be an effective alternative treatment for wounds.
评估在巴西市场销售的植物油与用于治疗伤口的参考保健产品的脂肪酸组成之间的相似性。
使用气相色谱-质谱联用和火焰离子化检测评估 21 种植物油中的脂肪酸相对含量。
研究中的油与参考产品（辛酸，18.8%；癸酸，17.4%；油酸，27.5%；亚油酸，28.1%）具有相似的脂肪酸组成。所有测试的植物油中均存在辛酸（10.45%±0.07%）、癸酸（5.8%±0.75%）、月桂酸（45.63%±0.93%）和肉豆蔻酸（16.33%±2.23%）。在巴西坚果、鳄梨、菜籽油、库帕巴、橄榄油、棕榈、培古西油和普拉卡西油中均存在油酸（52.94%±12.54%），且橄榄油中含量较高（75.8%）。在玉米油、棉籽油、葡萄籽油、西番莲油和葵花籽油以及混合油（橄榄油与大豆、葵花籽油与玉米和菜籽油）中均存在亚油酸（57.09%±8.47%）。
大多数测试的植物油均为来自热带地区的植物产物，这些地区植物油资源丰富，易于种植。从天然来源获得的脂肪酸的均衡组成可能是治疗伤口的有效替代方法。
