Abstract :The aim of the study was to determine and compare the fatty acids contents of Laurel berries insert ignore into journalissuearticles values( Laurus nobilis L.); grown in Trabzon, Bartın, Samsun and Abkhazia. Fleshy parts of laurel berries and seeds were analyzed separately to reveal yields of fixed oils. Three altitude ranges were determined for the study and samples were collected from the ranges that can be found from these elevations. These were insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0-100m, 100-300m and 300-600m);. Fleshy parts of laurel berries and seeds were analyzed separately to reveal yields of fixed oils. Automatic extraction technique was used for getting fixed oil and GC-FID device was used for characterization and comparison of berry oil. The results showed that the fixed oil yield of fleshy parts of berries ranged between 28.37% and 42.08%. The highest amount of fixed oil yield in fleshy part was obtained in Bartın insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0-100 m);. The fixed oil in of seeds ranged between 16.26% and 22.81%. The highest amount of fixed oil yield in seeds was obtained in Bartın insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(100-300 m);. According to GC-FID results, oleic acid insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(27.06 % - 48.93%); was the most abundant fatty acid, lauric acid insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0.49% -1.35 %); was the least abundant fatty acid in the fleshy parts of bay fruits. In seeds, lauric acid was the most common fatty acid insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(32.37%-44.49%); and arachidic acid insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0.87%-1.17%); was the least fatty acid. According to results, it is thus deduced that, the amount and content of fixed is affected by cultivation area, altitude variation and the parts of laurel berry
