Fatty acid composition of seed lipids of some representatives of the Lamiaceae family

The Lamiaceae family includes a wide range of plants with biological and pharmaceutical potential . Many representatives of this family are medicinal, spice, aromatic and ornamental plants and are of great economic importance . Each of the medicinal plants contains at least one substance with pharmacological activity. To assess the pharmaceutical potential of plants, it is necessary to identify biologically active compounds and systematize them in accordance with the International Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical (ATC) Classification. The ATC classification is an international system for classifying the active ingredients of drugs according to the organ or system on which they act and their chemical and pharmacological properties. This paper presents the results of a study of the fatty acid composition of lipids of seeds of some representatives of the Lamiaceae family, introduced by the Central Botanical Garden of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus. A high content of α-linolenic acid was noted in the lipids of the seeds of lemon balm (Melissa officinalis L.) 48.2 %, true lavender (Lavandula angustifolia Mill.) 58.4 %, hyssop (Hyssopus officinalis L.) 54.5 %, bee balm (Monarda fistulosa L.) 63.2 % and wrinkled giant hyssop (Agastache rugosa (Fisch. & CAMey.)) 53.2 %, and linoleic acid – in the lipids of the seeds of lemon balm (Melissa officinalis L.) 32.5 %, motherwort (Leonurus cardiaca L.) 47.4 %, black horehound (Ballota nigra L.) 53.4 % and common betony (Betonica officinalis L.) 56.9 %.
