Determination of main lipids and volatile compounds in unconventional cold-pressed seed oils through chromatographic techniques.

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to characterize unconventional cold-pressed seed oils (rosehip, strawberry, blackcurrant, carrot, plum, pomegranate, radish, and raspberry) as novel alternative edible oil source. A chemical characterization of different lipid components (total fatty acid composition, triacylglycerols, and vitamin E) and volatiles responsible for the particular aroma of these oils was reported. All the oils showed a content of unsaturated fatty acids, mainly oleic, linoleic, and α-linolenic acid, that potentially contribute to the prevention of cardiovascular diseases, in the range of 80%-90%. Moreover, an isomer of α-linolenic acid, namely, punicic acid, was quantified at a level of near to 40% in pomegranate seed oil. Triolein was the most abundant triacylglycerol in most of
