The brown products are much less intensely coloured when formed from less unsaturated lipids.156 The introduction of novel cultivars, such as SunOleic peanuts with only 3-6% linoleic acid, compared with the 30% of a traditional cultivar, such as Virginia, is therefore advantageous as regards the manufacture of, say, snacks, where a light colour is desirable. 

Safflower Oil, Unhydrogenated, occurs as a light yellow oil. It is obtained from the plant Carthamus tinctorius (Fam. Asteraceae) by mechanical expression or solvent extraction. It is refined, bleached, and deodorized to substantially remove free fatty acids, phospholipids, color, odor and flavor components, and miscellaneous other non-oil materials. It is a liquid at 21° to 21°, but traces of wax may cause the oil to cloud unless removed by winterization. Safflower Oil has the highest linoleic acid [(Z),(Z)-9,12-octadecadienoic acid] content (typically about 78% of total fatty acids) of any known oil. It is free from visible foreign matter at 21° to 21°. 

Ambient factors, such as temperature and light, affect the oil composition of sunflower seeds. Robertson and Russell (13) studied the effect of climatic conditions (temperature difference between night and day in Canada, Minnesota, and California) on the composition of sunflower oil, hnding that linoleic acid increased proportionally with increasing temperature difference. Robertson and Green (14) studied the effect of sowing time on oil content and composition. Eleven different hybrids... 

There is also controversy over the importance of MUFA over PUFA from the metabolic viewpoint. Great emphasis is placed on the distinction between the n-3 PUFA and those of the n-6 family. An increased intake of n-3 and a reduced intake of n-6 are recommended in light of the competitive metabolism of both families of fatty acids. As linoleic acid is a n-6 parent, a reduction of its intake favors the n-3/n-6 ratio on the other hand, it is also an essential fatty acid.

Linoleic acid is sensitive to air, light, moisture, and heat. It should be stored in a tightly sealed container under an inert atmosphere and refrigerated. 

Linoleic acid occurs as a colorless to light-yellow-colored oil.
