Vegetable Oils Rich in Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids and Their Health-Beneficial Effects: A Review

doi:10.7506/spkx1002-6630-201421066

Abstract

Abstract:

There are plentiful resources of vegetable oils containing polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in China. In
addition to linoleic acid and linolenic acid, vegetable oils rich in PUFAs also contain vitamin E, phytosterols, minerals,
squalene and other bioactive components. Schisandra chinensis oil, kiwifruit seed oil, grape seed oil, sacha inchi oil and
evening primrose oil contain up to over 80% PUFAs. Numerous investigations have demonstrated that vegetable oils rich in
PUFAs have auxiliary lipid-lowering, antioxidant, anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, sun protection, moisturizing, and weightreducing
functions, and therefore can be widely used in nutritional and healthy edible oils, dietary supplements, cosmetics
and other fields with broad prospects for exploitation and utilization.

Key words: polyunsaturated fatty acids, vegetable oil, linolenic acid, linoleic acid, health-beneficial effects
