The some quality traits of oriental mustard lines in Ankara conditions

Özet

The environmental impacts of fossil fuel use make research and development studies for sustainable alternative solutions from renewable sources important. Thuse, there is a need to determine inexhaustible, renewable and sustainable biodiesel resources for biodiesel production from fixed oils obtained from plant sources. Oriental mustard is a species that contains a significant amount of fixed oil in its seeds. This study was carried out in 2020 in Ankara, Türkiye, in order to determine and compare some quality traits of five oriental mustard purelines in autumn sowing conditions under continental climate conditions. Oriental mustard lines used in this study were get from USDA gene bank and bred by pure line selection method. Field studies were carried out according to randomized block design with four replications. According to the results, it was shown that all oriental mustard purelines were statistically significant for moisture percentage in seed, crude oil percentage in moist seed, crude oil percentage in dried seed, palmitic, stearic, oleic, linoleic, linolenic, eicosenoic and erucic acids. Erucic acid (20.01-24.41%), oleic acid (21.60-24.23%) and linoleic acid (20.11-22.24%) were determined as the main fatty acids. Fixed oil ratio of purelines varied between 27.83 and 42.10%. The results determined showed the potential of using in future breeding programs for alternative medicine, paint, food and biodiesel industry. It is thought that the crude oil content of Bjo3, Bjo4 and Bjo5 stages is quite high and can be evaluated in variety breeding studies for a more economical production in the supply of raw materials to different industries.
