Fatty acid composition and tocopherol content in four Tunisian Hypericum species: Hypericum perforatum, Hypericum tomentosum, Hypericum perfoliatum and Hypericum ericoides Ssp. Roberti [PDF]
AbstractThe fatty acid and tocopherol constituents of four Tunisian Hypericum species: Hypericum perforatum, Hypericum perfoliatum, Hypericum tomentosum and the endemic subspecies Hypericum ericoides Ssp. Roberti were analyzed in detail. Results revealed that all species have very low total lipid contents (0.6–3.5mg/gdw).
