Abstract
Barley is an ancient domesticated grain. As the oil content of most hulled and hulless barley cultivars is low, obtaining oil from whole barley grain is not easy or economical. However, when barley is milled by various methods, some of its milling fractions are enriched in oil and the fractions are used to produce barley oil. Almost all of the studies of barley oil and its lipid composition were conducted by extracting the oil and lipids with hexane. Barley oil is high-linoleate oil with a fatty-acid composition similar to corn oil and several other commodity plant oils. The levels of phytosterols in barley oil are higher than those in most other edible-plant oils. The most unique feature about barley oil is the very high levels of tocotrienols.
