- Abstract
Pecan has higher oil content than many other nuts. As many other properties, oil content and fatty acid composition of this nut could be affected from cultivar, cultural practices, growing conditions etc. This study was carried out to determine the oil contents and fatty acid compositions of ten pecan cultivars (Burkett, Chocktaw, Mahan, Wichita, Western, Desirable, Hasting, Mohawk, Royal, Stuart) grown in Turkey. Oil contents of these cultivars ranged from 67.50% (Mahan) to 76.00% (Mohawk). Dominant fatty acid was oleic acid in these samples, and this fatty acid was followed by linoleic, palmitic, stearic, linolenic and 11-eicosenoic acid in descending order. Oleic acid contents ranged between 55.21-71.88% in these cultivars. Results showed that there were a wide variation in oil contents and fatty acid compositions for these cultivars.
