Triacylglycerols of evening primrose oenothera biennis seed oil

Abstracts The triacylglycerol (TG) composition of evening primrose(Oenothera biennis) seed oil (EPO) was studied using a combination of silver nitrate thin layer chromatography (AgNO```3``‐TLC), reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and capillary gas liquid chromatography (GLC). The important TGs in EPO are LLL (24.4%), LLO (23.9%), LLP (11.5%), LOO (7.2%), LOP (6.8%), LLS (4.8%), γLnLp (3.7%), LOS (3.3%), γLnLS (2.0%), γLnLL (2.0%), LPP (1.9%), OOO (1.7%), LSP (1.3%) and γLnLO (1.0%).
