摘要: The aim of this work was to establish the richness in γ-linolenic acid (GLA, 18:3n6) and stearidonic (SDA, 18:4n3) several Sardinian Boraginaceae species. To end, seeds selected species were collected from their natural habitats analysed. highest GLA contents found seed oils two endemic Borago taxa, i.e. B. morisiana (24.4 24.6% total fatty acids for samples San Pietro Island Sardinia Island, respectively), 22.9% pygmaea. Both contained more than officinalis same ecosystems. SDA significant amounts Echium plantagineum oil Lattias Mountains (15% acids). It is notable that both GLA-rich are under threat extinction, thus revealing importance preservation ecosystems endangered human health.
