  • How many fatty acids are in safflower oil?
  • The fatty acid profile of safflower oil showed 14 fatty acid with variation of fatty acid concentration. In unsaturated fatty acids the PUFA was found to be dominant with highest concentration of linoleic acid (76.22%) followed by oleic acid (13.75%). Whereas, palmitic acid showed the highest concentration 6.02% among all the saturated fatty acids.
  • Does safflower contain oil?
  • Safflower contains medium to high oil contents (23¨C36%) depending upon variety used. The functionality of oil seeds in industrial, pharmaceutical and food products depends upon its fatty acid composition. The fatty acid composition of oils varies with plant species, cultivar and growing conditions (Kostik et al., 2013, Sabzalian et al., 2008).
  • What is the technical performance of safflower oil?
  • Technical performance of safflower oils with two added TBHQ concentrations (0.25 (low-TBHQ) and 3.00 g kg ?1 (high-TBHQ)) during the respective work cycles in the fluid test rig.
  • Is high oleic safflower oil better than sunflower oil?
  • Based on these results, crude high oleic safflower oil presented substantial lower wax content than crude sunflower oil (460¨C900 ppm in oil from whole seed) [ 15, 17] being within the limit required for virgin olive oils (<150 mg/kg) [ 18] and in the order of wax content of refined high oleic sunflower oil [ 15 ].
  • What is the -tocopherol value of safflower oil?
  • When comparing safflower oil with other healthy oils such as olive oil, the ¦Á-tocopherol value is still high. While safflower seeds studied in this paper presented around 565 mg/kg oil, Argentinean olive oils are in the range of 167¨C463 [ 19] mg/kg while high oleic sunflower oil could be in the range of 94¨C1860 mg/kg oil [ 17, 20 ].
  • How does safflower oil composition and nutritional profile change?
  • Safflower oil composition and nutritional profile changes with growing conditions, soil type and varieties. The future use of safflower oil in different food products depends upon the availability and screening of the high yielding varieties.
