M. Girzu et al., FATTY-ACID COMPOSITION OF THE HYPERICUM-P ERFORATUM L, HYPERICACEAE FLOWER TOP, OCL. Oleagineux corps gras lipides, 2(4), 1995, pp. 317-318
Fatty acids of flowering tops of St John's wort (Hypericum perforatum
L.) were investigated by means of GC/MS after isolation and conversion
into methylesters. Twelve fatty acids have been identified, the most
significant being palmitic (30.7%), linoleic (13%) and stearic (12.9%)
.
