Abstract
The safflower plant is an annual of the composite family. Its seed produces a valuable edible oil with the highest available polyunsaturated-saturated ratio and linoleic acid content. Aside from its increasing importance in human nutrition, the oil is used in alkyd resins, paints, and enamels. Safflower meal is used as a protein feed supplement for cattle, sheep, and poultry. Honey is produced from the safflower blossom.Safflower oil is nonallergenic. Testing with the water-soluble protein fraction of the seed should be performed first by the scratch or puncture method.
