Özet

In this study, oil yields, fatty acid composition and tocopherol contents of prickly pear seeds were determined. The oil contents of the seeds of prickly pear (Opuntia ficus-indica) varied from 5.0% (Ortaoren) to 14.4% (Eskioba). Palmitic acid contents of seed oils ranged between 10.6% (Mut) and 12.8% (Kepez). While seed oils contained 13.0% (Hatay-2) to 23.5% (Kepez) oleic acid, its linoleic contents ranged between 49.3% (Kepez) and 62.1% (Hatay-2). Also, stearic acid contents of oils were found at the levels between 3.3% (Kozan and Sevkiye) and 5.4% (Kepez). The tocopherol contents of prickly pear seed oils were determined by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). beta-Tocopherol contents of oils ranged between 3.9% (Eskioba) and 50.0% (Adana centrum).
