Limonene (10) was the major extracted compound from pine resin (Pinus pinea). Since it occurs in other resins or plants it cannot be a biomarker. Longifolene (49), present in a lower amount, is more characteristic of a conifer resin. This sesquiterpene is particularly...

Pine nuts (pinon or pignolia) are the edible seeds within the pine cone of several varieties of pine trees (Pinus sp.) but most commonly Pinus pinea or stone pine . Pine nuts are harvested all over the world, most notably in Russia, China, North Korea, Spain, Italy, and Turkey, among others. Pine nuts contain 48-61% lipids by weight (1, 60). Other constiments of pine nut include carbohydrate (19.3%), protein (11.6%), water (5.9%), and ash (2.2%) (1). Pine nut oil contains predominantly linoleic acid (46.4%) and oleic acid (38.1%). Maritime pine nut Pinus pinaster) oil also contains two fatty acids that are unique among tree nut oils pinoleic acid and sciadonic acid (Figure 2), which exist at 7% each in pine nut oU and may have antiatherogenic effects (Table 8) (63). The phenolic acid composition of defatted pine nut meal is given in Table 2 and shows that caffeic acid is the predominant phenolic compound (14).

Essential oils from Pinus halepensis, Pinus brutia, Pinus pinaster, Pinus pinea, and Cedrus atlantica were tested for molluscicidal activity against Bulinus truncatus. The oil from C. atlantica was found the most active (LC 50 = 0.47 ppm). Among their main constituents, a-pinene, fi pinene.

A number of phytosterols contain a two-carbon side chain (ethyl or ethylidene) attached to C-24, the atom which is methylated in the formation of ergosterol. The scheme of Castle et al., reproduced partially in Fig. 2, was originally proposed to account for the formation of such compounds. It was postulated that the 24-methylene compound (structure IV) might be further methylated to yield the 24-ethyl or ethylidene compounds. Evidence in favor of such double methylations has been supplied by the findings that (1) the label from [methyl- C] methionine is incorporated equally into both carbon atoms C-28 and C-29 (Castle et al., 1963 Bader et al., 1964 Villanueva et al., 1964), and (2) 24-ethyli-dene compounds may be converted to the 24-ethyl compounds by whole Pinus pinea seed (van Aller et al., 1969). That the details of the reactions may differ is indicated by deuterium labeling patterns. In some cases, only four hydrogen atoms derived from methionine are incorporated...
