The aim of the study was to determine and compare the
fatty acids contents of Laurel berries (Laurus
nobilis L.) grown in Trabzon, Bartın, Samsun and Abkhazia. Fleshy parts of
laurel berries and seeds were analyzed separately to reveal yields of fixed
oils. Three altitude ranges were determined for the study and samples were
collected from the ranges that can be found from these elevations. These were
(0-100m, 100-300m and 300-600m). Fleshy parts of laurel berries and seeds were
analyzed separately to reveal yields of fixed oils. Automatic extraction
technique was used for getting fixed oil and GC-FID device was used for
characterization and comparison of berry oil. The results showed that the fixed
oil yield of fleshy parts of berries ranged between 28.37% and 42.08%. The
highest amount of fixed oil yield in fleshy part was obtained in Bartın (0-100
m). The fixed oil in of seeds ranged between 16.26% and 22.81%. The highest
amount of fixed oil yield in seeds was obtained in Bartın (100-300 m).
According to GC-FID results, oleic acid (27.06 % - 48.93%) was the most
abundant fatty acid, lauric acid (0.49% -1.35 %) was the least abundant fatty
acid in the fleshy parts of bay fruits. In seeds, lauric acid was the most
common fatty acid (32.37%-44.49%) and arachidic acid (0.87%-1.17%) was the
least fatty acid. According to results, it is thus deduced that, the amount and
content of fixed is affected by cultivation area, altitude variation and the
parts of laurel berry
