The amount of saturated FA in the acorn of the Q. aegilops subsp brantii, Q. libani and Q. infectoria were more than 25%, 7% and 18% while in the pericarp were more than 9%, 12% and 11%, but in the cuplules were more than 9%, 10% and 10%, respectively.

The most abundant FA found in the acorn, pericarp and cuplules were Oleic followed by Lenoleic, except the cuplules of Q. infectoria, the most abundant FA was Lenoleic followed by Oleic.展开更多
