Red pepper seed oil

The roasted red pepper seed oil contained an extremely high concentration of linoleic acid, approximately 74%, and a high total unsaturated fat level (Table 6) (37). The fatty acid profile was very similar to that of both goldenberry seed (Physalis peruviana L.) and safflower oils (36). The iodine value of roasted red pepper seed oil was determined to be 137-g iodine/lOO-g oil.This shows that there is a high degree of unsaturation in the oil. Oxidative stabilities of the roasted red...

Linoleic acid (18 2n-6) is an essential fatty acid that must be obtained through diets. In this section, fruit, spice, and herb seed oils rich in linoleic acids are summarized. These seed oils include watermelon, melon Cucumis melo and Colocynthis citrullus), goldenberry, grape, rose fruit, paprika, red pepper, onion, black cumin, and Onagraceae seed oils. Several seed oils may be listed in other sections if they contain significant level of a special fatty acid. For example, pumpkin seed oils rich in both oleic acid and linoleic acid, are listed under the section named, Edible seed oils rich in oleic acid (18 ln-9). ...

Solid-liquid extraction is applied on an industrial scale to produce oils and fats from oil-bearing seeds. In the food and flavour industry, extracts and resins, such as hop, chamomile, peppermint, valerian, vanilla, red pepper and liquorice, are obtained from herbs, roots, seeds and drugs. The technology has also found application in the pharmaceutical industry for the extraction of antibiotics, alkaloids and caffeine. 

Information on the occurrence of alternaria mycotoxins in food and feed is relatively limited. For example altemariol, its methyl ether and tenuazonic acid were frequently detected in apples, apple products, apple juice concentrates, mandarins, ohves, pepper, red pepper, tomatoes, tomato products, oilseed rape meal, sunflower seeds, sorghum, wheat and edible oils (olive oil, rapeseed oil, sesame oil and sunflower oil). The maximum levels reported in foods are...
