Abstract The fatty acid composition of seed oils of eight Ranunculaceae was determinated in order to characterize new sources of gamma-linolenic acid. Fatty acids were identified as fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) by capillary gas-liquid chromatography (GC) and capillary GC-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). For trienic FAME the use of a cyanopropyl-polysiloxane stationary phase (CP-Sil 88) allowed the separation with high resolution of methyl ester of columbinic acid (trans-5,cis-9,cis-12 18:3) and gamma-linolenic acid (cis-6,cis-9,cis-12 18:3). The results confirmed the presence of columbinic acid in Thalictrum seed oils, and that of gamma-linolenic acid in Anemone and related species seed oils. The taxonomic subdivision of Ranunculaceae into sub-families and tribes, which resulted from morphological considerations, did not account for the above results.

The fatty acid composition of the uterus and fetuses from gilts killed 30 days after breeding at puberty was not affected by the soybean oil content (0–20%) of the diet given to the gilts before breeding. Differences in fatty acid profile were evident in belly fat samples taken from the same gilts. Although the belly fat contained linolenic acid, it did not appear to contain arachidonic acid as did the uterus and fetuses.
