The aim of this study was to investigate the chemical characteristics of seeds in two cultivated bitter landraces of Lupinus albus and two wild Lupinus angustifolius types in Mediterranean environment (Hatay, southern Turkey). Fat quantity and fatty acid quality were considerably different depending on the genotype. L. albus showed the higher oil content (74.0-85.1 g/kg), saturated fatty acids (16.88-19.3 g/100g), monounsaturated fatty acids (55.80-57.62g/100g) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (24.8-25.5g/100g) than did L. angustifolius with oil content of 38.8-46.69 g/kg; saturated fatty acids of 23.40-25.12 g/100 g, monounsaturated fatty acids of 51.48-52.98g/100g and polyunsaturated fatty acid of 23.4-23.6 g/100 g. The data obtained suggest L. albus as the most interesting lupin species for aiding the crop-livestock food chain and wild L. angustifolius type as a promising crop due to its high nutritive traits for the Mediterranean environment.
