Lipids ofHippophae rhamnoides pericarp

The main indices and the fatty, acid compositions of the pericarp lipids of six varieties of sea buckthorn introduced into the Tashkent Botanical Garden have been determined. The lipids of the varieties Maslichnaya-5 and Zolotoi pochatok are enriched with carotenoids (276 and 276.5 mg%, respectively). The fatty acids of the samples studied contained somewhat less of the 16:1 acid than varieties growing in the Altai.Translated from Khimiya Prirodnykh Soedinenii, No. 5, pp. 671–673, September–October, 1995.
