Abstract

Using the methods of mass spectrometry and enzymolysis with pancreatic lipase, the structure and positionspecies compositioin of the triacylglycerols (TAGs) of the tuberous roots ofMandragora turcomanica Mizger (fam. Solanaceae) have been determined for the first time. The TAGs include 42 possible species, among which the main ones are triunsaturated and unsymmetrical diunsaturated molecules with oleic acid in the sn-2 and linoleic acid in the sn-1(3) positions of the glycerol molecule.
