Oxidative stability of high oleic sunflower and safflower oils

Abstract

High oleic sunflower seed progenies derived from normal seed by chemical mutagenesis were extracted and their oils refined by standard laboratory procedures. Oxidative stability was related directly to linoleic acid content with an AOM value of 100 hr obtained at 1% linoleate. Data is presented comparing linoleate concentration and oxidative stability of oils obtained from normal sunflower seed and high linoleic (normal) and high oleic (naturally induced mutations) varieties of safflower seed. © 1985 American Oil Chemists' Society.
