The fatty acids and alkanes of Satureja adamovicii Šilić and Satureja fukarekii Šilić

Abstract

The content and composition of fatty acids and alkanes of Satureja adamovicii Šilić and Satureja fukarekii Šilić were analized by GC. It was found that unsaturated acids prevailed and that the major components were palmitic, oleic, linoleic and linolenic acids. The hydrocarbon fractions of pentane extracts were shown to consist of the alkane homologues (C17 to C34) with nonacosane and hentriacontane being prevailing compounds.
