Abstract

Lupinus termis seeds contain appreciable amounts of lipids and sterols. The lipid and sterol contents varied with the variety of seeds and the extracting agent. Cholesterol, stigmasterol and β-sitosterol have been shown to be the main sterol compounds of the seeds. The presence of vitamin A, B1 and C inL. termis seeds has also been demonstrated.

In Egypt,Lupinus termis seeds are mainly used for edible purpose. In a preceding paper (Abdel-Fattah et al. 1973) we reported on some constituents of these seeds, including carbohydrates, proteins and amino acids. For a further evaluation ofL. termis seeds we now report on their sterols and vitamins.

Résumé

Les grains deLupinus termis contiennent des appreciables quantités de lipides et de stéroles. Les contenants de lipide et de stérole sont variés selon la varieté des grains et l'agent de l'extraction. Cholesterole, stigmasterole et β-sitosterole ont été parus être les contenants essentials du stérole des grains. La présence de vitamines A, B1 et C dansL. termis a été encore démonstrée.

Zusammenfassung

Lupinus termis Samen enthalten merkliche Mengen an Lipiden und Sterolen. Die Lipidund Sterolgehalte der Samen hängen von der Sorte und dem jeweiligen Extraktionsmittel ab. Cholesterol, Stigmasterol und β-Sitosterol sind die Hauptsterolkomponenten der Samen. Außerdem wurden Vitamin A, B1 und C in den Samen vonLupinus termis nachgewiesen.
