Microcapsules of Perilla seed oil (PSO) are prepared using soyabean protein and maltodextrin as the wall material, using a spray-drying method [62]. Moreover, the linolenic acid present in microencapsulated PSO is not lost during processing.

However, the composition of the volatile oil obtained from the herb also differs markedly from that of the seeds. Eleven components out of 21 are similar in both herb and seed oils, while some differences have been observed between the relative amounts of /J-pinene, a-terpinene, p-cymene, a-terpineol, perilla aldehyde, thymol, a-cis-bergamotene, acoradiene and... 

Many species in the Europhorbiaceae and Labiatae families produce seeds with a high content of oil and contribution of hnolenic acid of up to 76% (1). Flaxseed has been used for years in the production of paints, varnishes, inks, and linoleum. In food applications, flaxseed is more often used than oil because of its better stability and because of the presence of fiber, lignans, and a-linolenic acid (ALA), which have health benefits. Cold pressed flaxseed oil is not considered suitable for deep-frying, although Chinese use it in stir-frying (2). In this chapter, oilseeds of flax, perilla, camelina, and chia are discussed as sources of oils with elevated content of ALA. These oilseeds are produced in industrial quantities and can be considered as potential sources of new oils with specific nutritional and functional properties. 

The seed of perilla contains 31-51% of oil, which is similar in composition to flaxseed oil, with a higher contribution of PUFA of over 70% (Table 4). The oil is highly unsaturated, with an iodine value of 192-208-g iodine /100-g oil (Table 4). Perilla oil contains over 60% linolenic acid with equal amounts of both linoleic and oleic acids (Table 4). Specific gravity of this oil is higher than flax oil because of a higher contribution of PUFA. Other physical parameters of this oil reflect the composition of its fatty acids. 

Derivation From the seeds of Perilla ocimoides, grown commonly in Japan and Korea. Chief constituents Linoleic and linolenic acids. 

Female rats were fed a semipurified diet supplemented with safflower oil or perilla oil (from seeds of the beefsteak plant, Perillafrutescens), mated at 11 wk of age, and the male progeny (F i) were weaned at 3 wk of age to the diet of the dam. These diets brought about...

The most readily available source of linolenic acid is linseed oil which normally contains 45-60% of this acid. Other oils, richer in linolenic acid, but less readily available, include chia, camphor, black sesame and perilla (all in the range 60-70%). Candlenut (25-35%) and rubber (20-25%) contain useful quantities of linolenic acid in their seed oils along with appreciable proportions of linoleic acid (35-50 and 35-40% respectively). All of these can be used as drying oils as can many of the linoleic-rich oils (Section 5.5). 

Perilla oil p9- ri-l9 (1917) n. A drying oil obtained from the seed of the perilla plants, Perilla ocymoides and Perilla nankinensis, natives of the Orient. Its main constituent acids are linoleic and linolenic, and it has the highest iodine value of all known vegetable oils except chia. It is superior to linseed oil, both from the point of view of drying rate, especially in the form of stand oil, and also of polymerization rate.

Perilla spp. (family Labiatae) Grown in Japan, China, Korea and Asia (in the Himalayan areas). Seeds are made into a paste and eaten like chutney and sauce. In Japan, the leaves, flowers and cotyledons are dried and are used as condiments.

LA, which is commonly found in vegetable seed oils, is the most predominant PUFA in our diet. ALA is less abundant than LA however, ALA is present in some vegetable oils such as perilla, flaxseed, canola, soybean and walnut oils (Table 1) and in green vegetables (Table 2). Fish and fish oils are the main sources of long-chain n-3 PUFA (e.g. DHA, EPA, and DPA) in the human diet (Tables 3 and 4). Other dietary sources of long-chain n-3 PUFA include lean...
