Isomer composition of tocopherols in seabuckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides L.) seeds in forest-steppe area of Altai territory
Estimation of tocopherol isomers composition in seed oil of seabuckthorn (H. rhamnoides ssp. mongolica) varieties is represented. It has been established that α-tocopherol is the dominant tocopherol in the lipids of the seabuckthorn seeds, the mean content of which for two years has been ranged from 2.1 (Dar Katuni) to 4.8 mg/100 g (Yantarnaya). In general within the evaluated group of subspecies, the mean content of α- tocopherol was determined at 3.5±0.3 mg/100 g. β-, γ- and δ-tocopherols were characterized by low content, accumulating an average for two years at 0.5±0.1, 1.3±0.1 and 0.7±0.3 mg/100 g, respectively.
