Özet

Cabbage is one of the richest vegetables in means of omega fatty acids. This pilot study aims to determine the effects of water stress on the fatty acid content of red and white cabbage. 100% control, 70% light water stress (LWS) and 30% severe water stress (SWS) treatments were applied. The changes in the amount of alpha-Linolenic acid and linoleic acid in relation to water stress in both cabbages were not statistically significant. It was observed that the Linoleic acid level in red cabbage decreased with water stress, while under heavy stress conditions Linolenic acid increased. In addition. the Linoleic acid increased with water stress while Oleic acid decreased. Linoleic acid was detected at 24.48% under no stress conditions while it decreased to 24.10% under LWS and 20.32% under SWS. Water deficit applications did not affect the fatty acid content of either cabbages according to the results obtained, Therefore, the most important conclusion of this research is that it can be said that water stress has no effect on omega-3 and omega-6 and that these fatty acids can be obtained without any loss by growing cabbages under drought conditions to support the brain development of babies and children,
