Lipids and essential oil from roots of licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra L., Fabaceae) growing in Uzbekistan were investigated. Neutral, glyco-, and phospholipids and lipid-like constituents transferring into benzine (free lipids), CHCl3, and EtOH extracts were identified using CC, TLC, GC, and GC-MS. Total lipids from the roots were dominated (31.8%) by free fatty acids with high contents of linoleic, oleic, and palmitic acids (40.0, 22.7, and 18.3%, respectively). The major constituent of essential oil extracted by steam distillation was carvone (65.3%). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Essential oil and lipids from leaves of Ferula kuhistanica Korovin (Apiaceae; syn. F. jaeschkeana auct. non Vatke) growing in Uzbekistan were studied for the first time using GC-MS. Essential oil consisted of 51 constituents (99.8% total with mostly α-pinene, 72.9%). Enantioselective analysis of essential-oil constituents found the enantiomeric excesses of (+/–)-α-pinene (61.9/38.1), (+/–)-β-pinene (28.6/71.4), (+/–)-sabinene (13.2/86.8), and (+/–)-limonene (82.7/17.3). Lipids included hexadeca-7Z,10Z,13Z-trienoic acid, confirming that F. kuhistanica belonged to plant group 16:3. Essential oil, chiral constituents, and lipids from leaves of F. kuhistanica were studied for the first time. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Lipids of Crambe abyssinica Hochst (Brassicaceae) seeds grown in hothouses in Israel and in the open in Uzbekistan in soil imported from the Aral Sea region were studied. It was found that the seed oil content decreased as the irrigation-water salinity increased. The content of total unsaturated fatty acids of neutral lipids was in the range 91.31-94.81%; of polar lipids, 69.59-83.78%. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Lipids from Crambe amabilis Butk. et Majlun and C. kotschyana Boiss. grown in the open in Uzbekistan in soil imported from the Aral Sea region were studied. It was found that the seed oil content decreased with increasing salinity of irrigation water with EC 1.5 up to 9.0 dS/m. The content of polar lipids increased. The content of unsaturated acids from C. amabilis neutral lipids was 94.74-97.46%; C. kotschyana, 95.76- 96.78%. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The lipid composition of ripe and green fruit of Hibiscus esculenthus cultivated in Uzbekistan was studied. The fatty-acid composition of pod and seed lipids was determined. Carbohydrate components including water-soluble polysaccharides, pectinic substances, and hemicellulose were characterized. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article focuses on a study which determines the chemical composition of the fruit from Rindera oblongifolia growing in Uzbekistan. It investigates the essential oil from the fruit of plant to identity plant sources rich in fatty acids in the country. It depicts the fatty acid composition of neutral lipids, glycolipids (GL), phospholipids (PL), and unsaponified substances from fruit of Rindera oblongifolia.

The article focuses on the study of lipids from Capparis spinosa seeds collected in Jizak District in Uzbekistan. Free lipids (FL) from ground seeds were extracted in a Soxhlet apparatus using hydrocarbons, bound lipids (BL) by CHCl3 and CH3OH and also in a Soxhlet apparatus. Meanwhile, differences in the content of the separate fatty acid components in BL, GL, and phospholipids (PL) had an effect on the total fraction of saturated and unsaturated acids.
