The common name for Viburnum opulus in Türkiye is "gilaburu". Despite its bitter and acrid taste, it is consumed as fruit juice or products such as jam, marmalade, jelly. They have antioxidant properties as they contain high levels of phytocompounds such as anthocyanin, phenolics, triterpenoids and vitamins. In the study, the fruits of V. opulus grown in Sivas, Kayseri and Yozgat villages were found to contain palmitic acid (C 16:0), oleic acid (C 18:1), linoleic acid (C 18:2), myristic acid (C 14:0), palmitoleic acid (C 16:1), stearic acid (C 18:0), heptadesanoic acid (C17:1), eicosenoic acid (C 20:1), eicosadienoic acid (C 20:2), lauric acid (C 12: 0), margaric acid (C 17:0), pentadecanoic acid (C 15:0), caprylic acid (C 8:0) and gincoloic acid (C 15:1) were examined. In the study, it was observed that the dominant fatty acids were palmitic acid (C 16:0), oleic acid (C 18:1) and linoleic acid (C 18:2). Similarly, in the examples, lauric acid (C 12:0), margaric acid (C 17:0), pentadecanoic acid (C 15:0), caprylic acid (C 8:0) and gincoloic acid (C 15:1) found in trace amounts.

Bu çalışma Çukurova Bölgesinde yetiştirilen mandaların süt yağ asit bileşimini ortaya koymak ve fonksiyonel bir gıda olarak önemini vurgulamak amacıyla yapılmıştır. Çalışmamızın materyalini oluşturan mandaların süt yağında en yüksek oranlara sahip yağ asitleri C14:0 (miristik asit) yaz mevsiminde %11,22 ve kış mevsiminde %11,34, C16:0 (palmitik asit) yaz mevsiminde %36,07 ve kış mevsiminde %35,77, C18:0 (stearik asit) yaz mevsiminde %11,23 ve kış mevsiminde %11,20 ve C18:1n9c (oleik asit) yaz mevsiminde %24,63 ve kış mevsiminde %24,77 olarak tespit edilmiştir. Yapılan analiz sonucunda mevsimin etkisi istatistiki olarak önemsiz çıkmıştır (P>0,01). Süt yağında doymuş yağ asitlerinin oranları (SFA) (%67,9 ila 68,09), tekli doymamış yağ asitlerinin (MUFA) (%28,87 ila 29,04) ve çoklu doymamış yağ asitlerinin (PUFA) (%3,04 ila 3,06) arasındadır. Çukurova Bölgesinde yetiştirilen mandalarda süt yağ asitlerinin belirlenmesi konusunda yapılan çalışma yok denecek kadar azdır. Bu noktada manda süt yağ asit kompozisyonuna ilişkin genel bir veri elde edilmesi amacı ile yapılan bu çalışma sonuçlarının mevcut durumun tespiti ve gelecekte muhtemel gelişmeler yönünde katkı sağlayacak kapsamlı araştırmalara veri oluşturabileceği öngörülmektedir.
