Chemical composition and biological activity of neutral lipids from the seeds of the Paliurus spina – christi Mill

        The chemical composition of lipids from the seeds of the Paliurus spina – christi Mill. attracted attention due to the presence of oxo-, oxy- and epoxy-acids in their native form. Eicosenic acid in lipids of Paliurus spina –christi is the for  first time for plants of the family Rhamnaceae.  β-sitosterol - 66%, stigmasterin - 13% and campesterin - 11% are found in the neutral part of fruit lipids.
