Abstract

Native almond genotypes contained 43.5-62.4% oil, 5.61-16.48% palmitic acid. 0.32-0.69% palmitoleic acid, 1.23-3.89% stearic acid, 68.99-81.71% oleic acid, 7.70-21.65% linoleic acid, 0.08-0.21% linolenic acid and 0.22-0.91% myristic acid. In addition. they had 78.74-92.97% unsaturated fatty acid content, 7.03-21.28% saturated fatty acid content and 3.7-13.2 unsaturated fatty acid/saturated fatty acid ratio.
