Goffman, F.D. | Thies, W. | Velasco, L.
The significance of tocopherols as chemotaxonomic markers and their relationship with oil content and fatty acid profile was investigated in a collection of 91 species of the family Brassicaceae. Total tocopherols content ranged from 68 mg kg(-1) oil in Diplotaxis viminea to 2479 mg kg(-1) oil in Schivereckia doerfleri. The collection also showed wide variability for tocopherol composition. The average tocopherol profile consisted of 65.4% (gamma-), 28.7% (alpha-), 5.1% (delta-) and 0.8% beta-tocopherol. Individual tocopherols were found to have great taxonomic value in the Brassicaceae.
