- Abstract
Positional-species composition (PSC) of 1,2,3-triacyl- sn-glycerols (TAG) from the arils of mature fruits of 13 species of Euonymus L. genus was established. The residues of six major fatty acids (FA), palmitic, stearic, hexadecenoic (H), octadecenoic (O), linoleic (L), and linolenic, were present in the TAG. PSC of TAG was determined by their partial lipase hydrolysis. By using hierarchical cluster and principal component analyses, it was definitely demonstrated that separate taxonomic units forming this genus were significantly distinguished as regards PSC of TAG. In particular, the Euonymus subgenus greatly exceeded the Kalonymus subgenus in both total content of L in TAG and in the rate of its incorporation into their mid-position, while TAG of Kalonymus were marked by a prevalence of O-TAG and sn-2-O isomers. Thus, these subgenera were significantly distinct in the rate of incorporation of O and L residues in the sn-2 position of TAG molecules. Meanwhile, the TAG from the Euonymus section species were marked by an enhanced concentration of H and the incorporation of H in UUU TAG was much more active than in other TAG types. As for positional-type composition of TAG, saturated FA were always virtually absent in the sn-2 position of Euonymus aril TAG.
