Abstract: (2222 Views)
Salicornia europaea is succulent annual halophyte. It has a variety of uses, such as: eatablility, oil extraction, cosmetic applications, fodder feeding and finally its seed as the poultry nutrition additive. The content of oil and fatty acid profile of the plant was tested through samples taken in 1*1 m2 plots at the seed ripening stage (September). Soxhlet method was used to extract the samples oil, and the obtained oil was analyzed by using gas chromatography method. Results showed that the amount of oil content ranged from 18to 4/5 % for dry weight of seeds, leaves and steams. Gas chromatography analysis identified 5 types of acid: Palmitic, Stearic, Lauric, Myristic and Palmitoleic of saturated fatty acids. There were seven types of essential acids: oleic, linoleic, linolenic, α-linolenic and isomer trans-Linoleic acid. Arachidic and Palmitoleic acid polyunsaturated fatty acids were found in the extracted oil. Palmitic acid among the saturated fatty acids and linoleic acid among the polyunsaturated fatty acids was predominant. Results show that seeds are suitable for eating as the oil and biomass for its omega3. In order to determine the percentage of lignocellulosic compounds as the raw material of biofuel, sampling was taken in three stages of vegetative growth (May), flowering (August) and seeding (Mehr) in the same plots of one square meters. Salicornia europaea has the potential as bio-ethanol crops. 28-30% cellulose, 7-8% hemi-cellulose, and 6-8 % lignin biomass of good quality for produce bio- ethanol in all growth stage.
