Abstract :      Bay laurel insert ignore into journalissuearticles values( Laurus nobilis L.); is an evergreen and dioecious tree or shrub plant with a small black fruit. This study was conducted to determine bay laurel genotypes with high-quality characteristics which grown intensively in Hatay. 149 female trees were preselected and then 49 laurel genotypes were used as material according to Turkish Standards insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(TS-5205); for fatty acid compositions. In the study, berry weights insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0.77-1.76 g);, kernel weights insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0.49-1.12 g);, kernel ratios insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(51.73-77.44%);, dry matter ratios insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(44.89-69.44%);, berry oil ratios insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(18.92-37.85%);, berry flesh oil ratios insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(20.76-53.98%); and kernel oil ratios insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(11.75-27.49%); of genotypes were determined. The content of fatty acid compositions ranged between 12.74-31.19% for lauric acid, 12.35-19.91% for palmitic acid, 30.35-44.43% for oleic acid and 15.93-26.75% for linoleic acid. Genotype K9 has attracted attention with high lauric acid and low palmitic acid ratio. On the other hand, genotype ER6 for berry weight, B30 for kernel weight and ER14 for kernel oil ratio were found to be promising genotypes.
