The free and bound lipid content, and the fatty acid composition of these lipids, in 11 oat ( Avena sativa L) cultivars grown in three Australian states were determined. There were significant differences between cultivars in both the free and bound lipid content and in the proportion of fatty acids in these lipids. The proportion of linolenic acid in the lipids of some oat cultivars grown in Western and South Australia was greater than that in the same cultivars grown in Victoria. There was a positive correlation between the free lipid content and the proportion of linoleic acid in the Swan cultivar.
