Brassicaceae

In some cases, the anionic POs adsorbed on chitin have similar antigenic determinants, but the plants belonging to different families - and even members of the same family - could have polysaccharide-specific POs with different structures. Thus, the majority of investigated species had anionic chitin-specific peroxidises, and these isoforms from potato Solcmaceae) and horseradish Brassicaceae) formed lines of precipitation with antibodies to wheat chitin-bound PO but not to anionic isoPO (Maksimov et al., 2000). However, protein extracts from several plants of Brassicaceae, Cucurhitaceae and Fahaceae formed precipitate with both the chitin-specific and anionic PO of wheat (Fig. 3). It was foimd that the greatest homology showed in plants and formed precipitation lines with the anionic PO of wheat (Tab. 2).

Only a few specific kinds of lipids can be identified on the basis of the characteristic features of the FA profile and the presence of specific biomarkers. For example, oils obtained from the seeds of Brassicaceae, such as rapeseed oil, are characterized by abundant amounts of uncommon FA such as gondoic (Z-11 -eicosenoic) acid and erucic (Z-13-docosenoic) acid and, after ageing their oxidation products. Other examples are reported in Table 7.2 and in Chapter 1. 

It is impossible to reveal the botanical species from which the seed oil used in the examined lamps was actually produced, e.g. to say whether the oil came from radish as reported by Pliny or from another Brassicaceae plant such as rapeseed. However, the detection of the characteristic markers in lamps from Antinoe, one of the main urban centres of Roman Egypt, represents a chemical confirmation of the widespread use of cmciferous oil at that time, and is consistent with ancient documents [61,62]. This identification is...
