Abstract:

 The aim of the study was to determine the fatty oil content, seed yield and some vegetative characteristics of Laser trilobum belonging to the Apiaceae family grown under Isparta ecological conditions during 2021 and 2022. The initial research material was obtained from the Barla Mountain region of Eğirdir, Isparta, at an altitude of 1575 m. The collected seeds were stored at 4C, sown in autumn, and plant transferred to field in spring. The seeds were harvested at full maturity in 2021 and 2022. The fatty oil content of the harvested seeds was extracted using a Soxhlet device, fatty acid components were determined by gas chromatography GC-FID, and protein content was determined by the Kjeldahl method. The average seed yield per plant was found to be 23.52 g plant-1 in 2021 and 23.34 g plant -1 in 2022. The main fatty acids of the species were petroselinic acid 35.3037.47, linoleic acid 16.2916.68, and oleic acid 7.658.44. The high levels of petroselinic and unsaturated fatty acids may be a significant finding that may improve the commercial potential of this species. As a result, cultivation of the species instead of collecting it from nature will contribute to making it a sustainable source of oil and protein.

 Çalışmada 2021 ve 2022 yıllarında Isparta ekolojik koşullarında yetiştirilen Apiaceae familyasına ait Laser trilobumun sabit yağ içeriği, tohum verimi ve bazı vejetatif özelliklerinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. İlk araştırma materyali Ispartanın Eğirdir ilçesinin 1575 m rakımlı Barla Dağı bölgesinden temin edilmiştir. Toplanan tohumlar 4Cde saklanmış, sonbaharda vitollere ekilmiş ve ilkbaharda tarlaya aktarılmıştır. Türün tohumlar 2021 ve 2022 yıllarında tam olgunlukta hasat edilmiştir. Hasat edilen tohumların yağ içeriği Soxhlet cihazı kullanılarak ekstrakte edilip, yağ asidi bileşenleri gaz kromatografisi GC-FID ile protein içeriği Kjeldahl yöntemi ile belirlenmiştir. Bitki başına ortalama tohum verimi 2021 yılında 23,52 g bitki-1 ve 2022 yılında 23,34 g bitki -1 olarak tespit edilmiştir. Türlerin ana yağ asitleri petroselinik asit 35,30-37,47, linoleik asit 16,29-16,68 ve oleik asit 7,65-8,44 olarak belirlenmiştir . Yüksek oranda petroselinik ve doymamış yağ asit içermesi, türün ticari potansiyelini artırabilecek önemli bir bulgular arasında yer almıştır. Sonuç olarak, türün doğadan toplanması yerine yetiştirilmesi, sürdürülebilir bir yağ ve protein kaynağı olmasına katkıda bulunacaktır.
