Abstract
AbstractLike Niger seed oils (Part II) and sunflower seed oils (Part IV), safflower seed oils may vary somewhat widely in their content of Iinoleic acid; oils from Asiatic and some other sources contain 60%, or less, but other seeds grown in America or Australia furnish oils in which linoleic acid forms up to about 77% of the total fatty acids. Such oils contain negligible proportions of linolenic acid, and are excellent non‐yellowing drying oils. Safflower seed grown in Kenya has been examined and found to give oil practically identical with a recently described Australian oil, its component acids being palmitic 6·4, stearic 3·1, arachidic 0·2, oleic 13·4, and linoleic 76·9% by wt.
