Abstract

Coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) and cumin (Cuminum cyminum L.) are plants from Apiaceae
family originating from the Mediterranean region. Their seeds are rich in essential oils which gives
them their characteristic aroma. Apart from the essential oils, this seeds are rich in fatty oil. According to the seed analysis obtained from plants grown at the experimental field in Mošorin during 2014, coriander contains 7.60%, while cumin contains 8.39% of fatty oil. Twelve fatty acids were established in coriander fatty oil, whereas in cumin were determined 17 fatty acids. The dominant fatty acid in coriander was capric acid (C10:0) in the amount of 31.70%, followed by monounsaturated fatty acids with 18 C-atoms (C18:1n-9 and C18n:1n-12) which were present in concentration of 29.67% and behenic acid (C22:0) with a share of 21.93%. As far as cumin concerned, the dominant fatty acids were monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids with 18 C-atoms. The oleic acid (C18:1) was present in quantity of 59.33%, while linoleic acid (C18:2) was present in concentration of approximately 26.59%.
