Lemon seed oil

Linoleic (>30%), oleic (>18%), and Unolenic (2-12%) acids are the most predominant unsaturated fatty acids present (9). Lemon, lime, and citron oils contain the highest amount of linolenic acid. In addition, very small amounts of myr-istoleic acid (C14 l) in polar lipids fraction, myristoleic (C14 l) and palmitoleic (C16 l) acids in diacylglycerols fraction, and myristoleic (C14 l) and eicosaenoic (C20 l) acids in triacylglycerols fraction of citms seed oil were also identified (39). 

The ranges of fatty acid composition for several Florida citrus seed oils are shown in Table 7.1. Filsoof and Mehran (1976) studied the fatty acid composition of eight different citrus seed oils and found the fatty acid profiles to be very similar for the oils of oranges, limes and sweet lemons. This similarity of fatty acid composition has the advantage that any change in the availability of given varieties may be expected to have no effect on the quality of the finished oil. 

The physical constants of citrus seed oil reported by Braddock and Kesterson (1973) are given in Table 7.2. Refined oil is bland and pale yellow in color and could be used like other cooking and salad oils. Helmy (1990) studied the effect of refining on color and reported that refined oil from orange, bitter orange, mandarin and lemon ranged from 9 to 13 lovibond units (yellow) and bleached oils measured 1 lovi-bond unit. The oil has been evaluated for edible purposes as well as industrial applications (Hendrickson and Kesterson, 1961, 1963, 1964, 1965 Kaplan, 1941 Stambovsky, 1942).

Pickles aud Karl have made an examination of the essential oil distilled from the fruit of this plant which is alari known as An /mum mcilivm. They find that the oil resides almost entirely in the seeds. By distilling the fruits with steam, aliout 1 per cent, of a pale yellow oil, having an odour cecalliug those of lemon aud eucalyptus, was obtained. The Oil has the following chanteters —... 

Preheat oven to 350°F. Place broccoli in a casserole dish, and pour canola oil, curry powder, and lemon juice evenly over florets. Cover and bake until tender, about 20 minutes. Mix mango chunks into broccoli. Spoon contents onto two salad plates, and sprinkle half of the pomegranate seeds evenly over each plate. Serve warm. 

For breakfast try the lemon poppy seed pancakes - light, fluffy pancakes served with a stellar creamy lemon sauce. Heavier, but unsurpassed, are the organic oatmeal pancakes - topped with a warm peach compote and served with pure maple syrup. Lunch favorites include the love cakes - three black bean and cornmeal cakes, sauteed and topped with tomatillo salsa, sour cream, feta cheese and spears of raw onion and pudge - mashed potatoes colored with sun-dried tomatoes, basil and olive oil.

Myrcene is a hydrocarbon which occurs in many essential oils such as those obtained from parsley leaf, rosemary, celery leaf, hops, lemon-grass, cardamom seeds and blackcurrant buds. It is also obtained when P-pinene, a major constituent of turpentine, is heated to a high temperature. It has a pleasant odour for a hydrocarbon, being described as sweet, balsamic, herbal and refreshing. 

Conifer wood, balm trees, citrus fruits, coriander, eucalyptus, lavender, lemon grass, lilies, carnation, caraway, peppermint species, roses, rosemary, sage, thyme, violet and many other plants or parts of those (roots, rhizomes, stems, leaves, blossoms, fruits, seed) are well known to smell pleasantly, to taste spicy, or to exhibit specific pharmacological activities. Terpenes predominantly shape these properties. In order to enrich terpenes, the plants are carved, e.g. for the production of incense or myrrh from balm trees usually, however, terpenes are extracted or steam distilled, e.g. for the recovery of the precious oil of the blossoms of specific fragrant roses. These extracts and steam distillates, known as ethereal or essential oils ("essence absolue") are used to create fine perfumes, to refine the flavor and the aroma of food and drinks and to produce medicines of plant origin (phytopharmaca).
