Hop fruit

Rose, Rosa canina L., also known as dogberry or hop fruit, is in the Rosaceae family. The fruit of this particular species of rose is generally used to prepare a stew. The seeds from Rosa canina L. were investigated for their chemical composition and nutritional values for medicinal purposes. Seed oils were prepared from fruits grown at three locations in Turkey and evaluated for their fatty acid composition (31). Linoleic acid was the primary fatty acid detected, which ranged from 48.6-54.4% of total fatty acids, followed by a-linolenic acid (16.4-18.4%) and oleic acid (14.7-18.4%) (Table 4). The seed oil contained approximately 85% total unsaturated fatty acids, indicating that Rosa canina L. seed oil may be an excellent source for unsaturated and essential fatty acids.
