What is Phytosterols accumulation in the seeds of Linum usitatissimum L. about?
A comparative study was performed to determine the free sterols content and composition during the development of three varieties of linseed (H52, O116 and P129). Seed samples were collected at regular intervals from 7 to 60 days after flowering (DAF). Ten compounds were identified: cholesterol, campesterol, brassicasterol, stigmasterol, beta-sitosterol, Delta5-avenasterol, cycloartenol; 24-methylene cycloartanol, obtusifoliol, citrostadienol. The maximum level of 4-desmethylsterols (1,515 mg/100g oil) was reached at 7 DAF in P129 variety. H52 had the highest level of 4-4 dimethylsterols (355 mg/100g oil) at 28 DAF. The greatest amount of 4-monomethylsterols (35 mg/100g oil) was detected in H52 at 14 DAF. During linseed development, beta sitosterol (830 mg/100g oil) was the major 4-desmethylsterols, followed by campesterol (564 mg/100g oil) and stigmasterol (265 mg/100g oil). Some of these compounds followed nearly the same accumulation pattern during linseed maturation.
