Fatty acids from some Lavandula hybrids growing spontaneously in north west Italy
1993
Maffei, M. | Peracino, V.
Lavandula hybrids (lavandins) were collected in full bloom at various elevations in different north western Italian Alp valleys. Lipids were extracted from aerial parts in order to evaluate their fatty acid content. The data obtained were statistically processed with multivariate methods. A high content of palmitic acid was found in most of the hybrids analysed. The linolenate/linoleate ratio was also calculated and is discussed. The results provided evidence for the presence of three distinct chemotypes.
