Euphorbia lagascaeSpreng is native to south-eastern Spain and Sardinia. The plant is annual and important species of the family Euphorbiaceae. The seed oil content (48-52%) consisting of about 58-62% cis-12,13-epoxyoleic acid, also called vernolic acid with attractive applications for the oleochemistry. As a long-chain fatty acid, vernolic acid can have various utilizations, e.g. dyes, coatings and plasticizerstabilizer. Polyvinyl chloride can be more resistant to degradation by temperature and light when epoxyoleic acid is used in its composition. Epoxydized oils or their esthers can also be important components of phenolic resins for the electronic industry. The seeds of Euphorbia lagascae are also reported to contain piceatannol (a type of phenolic compound), which can increase apoptosis in some cancer cell lines. The large-scale production of the species is hindered by severe seed shattering trait universal in wild accessions. For this reason, breeding and domestication work have been undertaken in Spain, Germany and the Netherlands in recent years. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
