Chemical Contents and Fatty Acids Composition of the Stems, Leaves, Flowers, and Seeds of Fagopyrum esculentum.

This article explores the chemical contents and fatty acid composition of various parts of the buckwheat plant. Buckwheat has multiple uses, such as human food, animal feed, and medicinal purposes. The study reveals that the major saturated fatty acids in buckwheat oils are C14:0, C16:0, C18:0, C20:0, C22:0, and C24:0 acids, while the major unsaturated fatty acids are C18:1, C18:2, and C18:3 acids. The research findings align with previous studies on buckwheat. The study investigates the fatty acid composition and chemical contents of different parts of the buckwheat plant, highlighting variations in fatty acid composition and chemical contents among different plant parts. The highest unsaturated fatty acids are found in the seeds. The study also reveals differences in crude protein, fiber, and mineral content among different parts of the plant. These variations may be attributed to different ecological conditions and plant parts examined. The study was supported by Bingol University. [Extracted from the article]
