Plant derived seed extract rich in essentially fatty acids derived from <i>Salvia hispanica </i>L. seed: composition of matter, manufacturing process and use

摘要

A Salvia hispanica L. derived seed oil extract composition of matter containing from 60-88% PUFAs in a ratio of from 3.1:1-3.3:1 of ALA to LA, 4-10% of C-18 mono-unsaturated fatty acid, 1-5% of C-18 saturated fatty acid and 4-8% of C-16 saturated fatty acid in a mixed triglyceride form stable at room temperature of 12-24 months containing a mixture of selected antioxidants.

1. A composition of matter comprising a supercritical CO2 fluid Salvia hispanica L. derived seed oil comprising from 60-88% PUFAs in a ratio of from 3.1:1-3.3:1 of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) to linoleic acid (LA), 4-10% of C-18 mono-unsaturated fatty acid, 1-5% of C-18 saturated fatty acid and 4-8% of C-16 saturated fatty acid in a mixed triglyceride form that is shelf stable at room temperature for 12-24 months and comprising an effective amount of added lipophilic and/or hydrophilic antioxidant stabilizer as a preservative that extends the shelf life of the seed oil, wherein the Salvia hispanica L. derived seed oil is made by subjecting the Salvia hispanica L seed to supercritical fluid CO2 extraction to produce a seed oil extract; fractionating the resulting seed oil extract in separate pressure step-down stages for collecting light and heavy fractions of seed oil extract; and separating the heavy fraction from the light fraction to form the final seed oil from the heavy fraction.
