Celery oil

Sitosterol and stigmasterol were the major components of celery seed oil. The other components were cholesterol, brassicasterol, campesterol, 97-campesterol, 95-avenasterol, 97-stigmasterol and 9 7-avenasterol (Zlatanov and Ivanov, 1995). Oil bodies isolated from celery cell suspension cultures contained at least 60% of the total steryl ester present in the cells. Free sterols comprised < 0.5% of the total lipid in the oil body. Sterylesters constituted 4.5% of the total lipid of celery oil bodies. The proportion of precursor 4-methylsterols in the free sterol fraction of celery was greater in the oil body (Dyas...

The composition of celery seed oil has been reviewed [87-92]. Celery seed is extracted selectively with L.CO2 to give the best olefactory yield of 3%. However, continued extraction with L.CO2 or S.CO2 can yield an extra 10% of seed lipids. These lipids only serve to dilute the active components. The 3% yielded L.CO2 celery oil contains all of the available active celery specific natural chemicals together with the minimum of saturated, stable, low molecular weight non-polar lipids compared to the steam-distilled oil which contains very high levels of Limonene [22, 93, 94].
