Abstract :In this study, fatty acid compounds in the bee pollens collected from five different locations of Bingöl were investigated. A total of 27 samples of polen, each 4 of which taken from 5 different places, were examined. Pollen samples were extracted and extractions were analyzed by gas choromatography insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(GC);. According to results, while significant difference in the amount of palmitic acid insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(C16:0); and stearic acid insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(C18:0); oleic acid insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(C18:1n-9); and γ – linolenic acid insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(C18:3n-6); were found, the amounts of palmitoleic acid insert ignore into journalissuearticles values( C16:1n-7);, linoleic acid insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(C18:2n-6);, α – linolenic acid insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(C18:3n-3);, saturated fatty acids insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(SFA);, monounsaturated fatty acids insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(MUFA); and polyunsaturated fatty acids insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(PUFA); were not found significant insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p>0.05);. As a result, it was found that the unsaturated-to-saturated fatty acids ratio insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(TUFA/SFA ratio); in the pollen samples examined ranged from 1.57 to 1.92 and essential fatty acids appeared to be mixture of α-linolenic acid and γ-linolenic acid, 33% and linoleic acid 10 %, respectively of the total fatty acids. It can be thought that with this study one can get information about biological value and nutritional quality of the pollen grains in the this region and this investigation will have an important effect on improvement of the knowledge of that area.
