Abstract
In this study, fatty acids and mineral analyzes were determined in the leaves and bulbs of Gladiolus humilis and Ixiolirion tataricum plant species. Mineral and fatty acid analyses were determined using an inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometer (ICP-OES) and gas chromatography (GC). It was determined that the levels of myrististic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid, alpha-linolenic acid, and docosahexaenoic acid, which are the major fatty acid components of the Gladiolus humilis plant leave, were 10.39%, 20.14%, 10.48%, 13.62%, 8.19%, 10.42% and 4.52%, respectively. In the bulb of the Gladiolus humilis plant, the levels of tridecanoic acid, palmitic acid, linoleic acid, and alpha-linolenic acid were detected as 8.84%, 18.77%, 41.40%, and 11.09%, respectively. Palmitic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid, and linoleic acid are the major fatty acids in the leaves of the Ixiolirion tataricum plant, respectively; they were detected as 24.11%, 6.77%, 11.55%, and 11.20%. In the bulb of the Ixiolirion tataricum plant, palmitic acid, oleic acid, and linoleic acid are respectively determined to be 16.33%, 4.26%, and 48.17%. In the leaves of Gladiolus humilis plant, Ni, Ba, Al, Cu, Fe, Mn, Zn, Cr, K, and Na are respectively 1.22, 139.04, 232.95, 2.55, 227.85, 101.19, 43.68, 3.71 (μg/g), 43.85, and 0.10 (mg/g). In bulb, Ni, Ba, Cu, Fe, Mn, Zn, Cr, K, and Na are respectively determined as 0.60, 12.77, 0.56, 12.21, 8.33, 19.43, 0.94 (μg/g), 22.78, and 0.04 (mg/g). Ni, Ba, Al, Cu, Fe, Mn, Zn, Cr, K, and Na in the Ixiolirion tataricum plant leaf, respectively, were determined to be 4.05, 46.65, 1523, 3.85, 781.41, 131.57, 29.81, 12.51, 71 (μg/g), 44.96, and 0.23 (mg/g), respectively. In the Ixiolirion tataricum plant bulb, Ni, Ba, Al, Cu, Fe, Mn, Zn, Cr, K, and Na are respectively 0.14, 13.40, 4.24, 1.97, 17.08, 1.36, 21.37, 1.46 (μg/g), 11.64, and 0.03 (mg/g).
Fatty acid and element levels of Gladiolus humilis and Ixiolirion tataricum plants have been reported in detail for the first time. We think that this study may be important for medical studies in the future.
Key words: Gladiolus humilis, Ixiolirion tataricum, fatty acids, trace element, endemic plant.
