  • Can safflower oil be used for functional foods development?
  • Applications of safflower oil towards functional foods development is reviewed. Safflower is a multiple purpose crop generally grown for oil production. The safflower oil is considered to be a better oil since it contains higher amount of oleic and linoleic acids than other oil seed crops.
  • Is safflower oil bioavailable in human matrices?
  • Safflower oil having a broad spectrum of biological and functional activities as shown in various reported literature, however all these studies are conducted in animal models. There is a need to assess the bioavailability and functionality of safflower seed oils in human matrices.
  • 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).
  • How is safflower oil extracted?
  • Traditionally safflower oil has been extracted using local mills called ¡°ghani¡± (mainly in Indian regions) which is a combination of pestle and mortar (Achaya, 1994, Knowles, 1967) technique. This process leaves about 10¨C15% oil in the residual cake. The cake or the meal obtained from ghani is partially dehulled before milling.
  • How good is safflower oil extraction?
  • Moreover, the quality of oil was far more better in SC-CO 2 extraction with a maximum oil yield of <27% at 28 MPa and 308 K temperature. In another study the optimized conditions for SC-CO 2 for safflower oil extraction includes a constant CO 2 flow rate of 3 mL/min, with 347 K and 50 MPa pressure.
  • Where is safflower grown?
  • Safflower is grown in more than 60 countries, however India, Kazakhstan, Mexico, USA and Argentina (Fig. 1 b) are the leading countries for its production (FAOSTAT, 2015). The major production regions for this crop are America and Asia with a share of 93% cumulative production.
