Abstract

The amino acid profiles and fatty acid composition of Zygophyllum fabago were studied to evaluate the nutritional value of this species. The most abundant essential amino acid and non-essential amino acid were leucine (4.75 µg/g) and glutamate (23.42 µg/g), respectively. Oleic acid, a monounsaturated fatty acid, was the major component in Zygophyllum fabago (77.1% of total fatty acids), and the second highest component of fatty acids was linoleic acid (12.8%). The amount of MUFA (monounsaturated fatty acid) and PUFA (polyunsaturated fatty acid) was 78.0% and 13.1% of the total fatty acid content, respectively.
