Determination of trace element and fatty acid levels in the bulbs and leaves of Gladiolus humilis Stapf and Ixiolirion tataricum (Pall.) Schult. & Schult. f. var. Tataricum
Abstract
In this study, fatty acids and mineral analyses were determined in the leaves and bulbs of the Gladiolus humilis and Ixiolirion tataricum var. tataricum. 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 myristic acid 10.39%), palmitic acid (20.14%), stearic acid (10.48%), oleic acid (13.62%), linoleic acid (13.62%), alpha-linolenic acid (10.42%) and docosahexaenoic acid (4.52%) are the major fatty acid components of the Gladiolus humilis leaf. In the bulb of the Gladiolus humilis, 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. While palmitic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid and linoleic acid are the major fatty acids in the leaves of the Ixiolirion tataricum var. tataricum; they were detected as 24.11%, 6.77%, 11.55% and 11.20% respectively. In the bulb of the Ixiolirion tataricum var. tataricum, palmitic acid, oleic acid and linoleic acid are determined to be 16.33%, 4.26% and 48.17%, respectively. In the leaves of Gladiolus humilis Ni, Ba, Al, Cu, Fe, Mn, Zn, Cr, K and Na are 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), respectively. In the bulb, Ni, Ba, Cu, Fe, Mn, Zn, Cr, K and Na are 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). Similarly Ni, Ba, Al, Cu, Fe, Mn, Zn, Cr, K and Na in the Ixiolirion tataricum var. tataricum leaf, 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 var. tataricum bulb, Ni, Ba, Al, Cu, Fe, Mn, Zn, Cr, K and Na are 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), respectively. Fatty acid and element levels of Gladiolus humilis and Ixiolirion tataricum var. tataricum have been reported in detail for the first time. This study may be important for medical studies in the future.
