ENDÜSTRIYEL ÖLÇEKTE ÜRETILEN NAR (PUNICA GRANATUM L.) VE MAYDANOZ (PETROSELINUM CRISPUM) TOHUMU YAĞININ KIMYASAL BILEŞIMI, ANTIOKSIDAN VE ANTIFUNGAL ÖZELLIKLERININ BELIRLENMESI

In this study, essential oil and oil acid content, antioxidant and antifungal properties of oils obtained from pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) and parsley seeds (Petroselinium crispum) produced on an industrial scale were investigated. Pomegranate seed oil was obtained cold pressed in an industrial scale, while parsley seed oil was obtained industrial steam distillation. As a result of pomegranate seed oil GC-MS analysis, fifteen components were determined. Parsley seed oil was twelve compounds was identified. Punicic acid (61.19 %) was found as the dominant compound in pomegranate seed oil while apiole (14.21 %) was determined as the dominant compound in parsley seed oil. When the antioxidant capacity of the oils were examined, it was determined that the oils obtained from pomegranate seeds have a moderate antioxidant activity, the oils obtained from parsley seeds have high antioxidant activity. Antifungal activity of pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) and parsley (Petroselinium crispum) seed oil against five different plant pathogens, F. oxysporum f. sp. Lycopersici, B. cinerea, S. sclerotiorum, A. solani, and R. solani were also determined.
