Changes in the Fat-acidic Composition of Camelina sativa Oilseeds Depending on Hydrothermal Conditions

Abstract

The regularities of the changes in the fat-acid composition of the oilseeds of camelina spring cultivar Yubilyar and winter cultivar Kozyr depending on the conditions of vegetation were studied. It was found that the fat content depended on the weather conditions of the growing season and was 38.7–40.9% in winter camelina and 35.7–39.9% in spring camelina. The content of the main fatty acids varied depending on the hydrothermal coefficient and temperature during the years studied and was as follows: α-linolenic (31.89–36.79%), linoleic (16.83–20.02%), oleic (16.87–16.90%), and erucic (2.64–3.10%). The optimal ratio of the fatty acid composition of camelina oilseed formed in the years with moderate moistening at a value of a hydrothermal coefficient of 1.1.
