Abstract
Different varieties of fennel. caraway, and coriander (3 fennel, 7 caraway, and 4 coriander varieties), which belong to the Umbelliferae family, were analyzed on oil and water content, subsequently the fatty acid profiles of the oils were determined by automated gas chromatography. Using fatty acid butyl esters a complete fatty acid profile including petroselinic and cis-v accenic acid was obtained. Furthermore. the obtained fatty acid contents were compared to those cited in literature, which were determined using different analysis procedures.
