Abstract

The content analysis of fatty acids in Perilla cultivars and commercial oils is conducted through gas chromatography with a flame ionization detector.Results show that Perilla cultivars, such as Deulsaem and Daesil, contain high amounts of α-linolenic acid (262.22 and 261.97 mg/g, respectively).Among commercial oils, Perilla oil contains a higher amount of α-linolenic acid (515.20 mg/g).Accordingly, α-linolenic acid is a major fatty acid of Perilla cultivars and oil.Therefore, Perilla cultivars could be used as a food supplement for nutritional and pharmaceutical purposes.
