Abstract
MAZZUCA, M.; MISCORIA, S.A.; ROST, E. and BALZARETTI, V.T.. Fatty Acids And Sterols In Seeds From Wild Species Of Berberis In Argentine Patagonia. An. Asoc. Quím. Argent. [online]. 2005, vol.93, n.4-6, pp.241-246. ISSN 0365-0375.
Seeds of Berberis heterophylla and Berberis buxifolia were analyzed for lipids, fatty acids and sterols contents. The lipids in seeds contained a relatively large proportion of unsaturated fatty acids, with linolenic, linoleic and oleic being predominant. β-sitosterol was the major sterol in both species, followed by stigmasta-5,24(28)-dien-3 β-ol and campesterol. The seeds of B. heterophylla were the richest in total lipid content.
