Lipids ofViburnum opulus seeds

Lipid components of the seeds ofViburnum opulus (Caprifoliaceae family) were investigated. The neutral lipids consist of eight classes, the glycolipids consist of three classes, and the phospholipids contain seven classes. The fatty-acid contents of all of the acyl-containing lipids were determined. The 18∶2 fatty acid is the main component of all the lipid fractions. The content of saturated acids is greater in the glycolipids and phospholipids. The lipophilic components, higher fatty alcohols and sterols, were identified.     

The hydroxy acids of cottonseed oil

Summary It has been established that the oil of the ripe seeds of the cotton plant of variety 108-F contains 9,10-epoxyoctadec-cis-12-enoic (I) and 12,13-epoxyoctadec-cis-9-enoic (II) acids. In addition, 9-hydroxyoctadecacis,trans-10,12-dienoic (III) and 13-hydroxyoctadeca-cis,trans-9,11-dienoic (IV) acids, found previously in other oils, have been detected.Institute of the Chemistry of Plant Substances, Academy of Sciences of the Uzbek SSR, Tashkent.

A comparative investigation of the fatty acid compositions of the seeds of a number of lines of a genetic collection of Gossypium hirsutum

A comparative analysis has been made of the amounts of lipids and their fatty-acid compositions in the seeds of the lines of agenetic collection of cotton plants of the speciesGossypium hirsutum and their hybrids and the variety Tashkent-1. The results obtained on the fatty-acid compositions of some hybrids make it possible to recommend the use of individual lines of cotton plants as donors for improving the food-value indices of cottonseed oil.Institute of Chemsitry of Plant Substances, Academy of Sciences of the Uzbek SSR, Tashkent.

Influence of the degree of ripeness of cotton seeds on their lipid composition

The influence of the degree of ripeness of the seeds of the cotton plant on their lipid composition has been studied. It has been established that as the seeds ripen their lipid composition becomes simpler, and in the developing cotton seeds the biosynthesis of triglycerides takes place with the participation of the mono-and diacylglycerides as intermediates.Institute of the Chemistry of Plant Substances, Academy of Sciences of the Uzbek SSR, Tashkent.

Inverse problem for an equation of mixed type with the Lavrent’ev-Bitsadze operator and with a nonlocal boundary condition

For an equation of the mixed elliptic-hyperbolic type, we study the inverse problem with a nonlocal condition relating the derivatives of the solution on the elliptic and hyperbolic parts of the boundary. We prove a uniqueness criterion and construct the solution in the form of a Fourier series.     

Lipids of defective cotton seeds and the influence of microflora on their composition

A comparative study has been made of the lipid composition of defective and first-grade cotton seeds after their prolonged storage under industrial conditions. On the basis of the change in the lipids of the seeds subjected to thermal spoilage it is proposed to consider the process of spontaneous heating as a group of enzymatic processes taking place mainly in not fully ripe seeds when they are damaged by pathogenic microflora.     

A study by the method of circular dichroism of the influence of various denaturing agents on cottonseed gossypulin (11S)

The structure of the reserve plant globulins is the main factor determining the functional properties of food proteins obtained from them. Under the action of various denaturing agents on cottonseed gossypulin, the main reserve protein, conformational changes take place which, in a number of cases affect both the secondary and the tertiary structures. Ten samples of gossypulin obtained under the action of acid, alkali, heat, and urea on the native molecule have been studied by the method of CD spectroscopy. The new protein products are systems relatively ordered with respect to their secondary structure but with a modified tertiary structure.Deceased.Institute of Chemistry of Plant Substances of the Uzbek SSR Academy of Sciences, Tashkent.
