How is carthamus tinctorius oil made?
The production process of safflower oil begins with the harvesting of the seeds of the safflower plant, which grows mainly in dry climates. The seeds are pressed to extract the oil. For the high oleic variety, seeds are specifically selected that are rich in oleic acid. After pressing, the oil undergoes a refining process to remove impurities and ensure quality. This results in a pure, high-quality oil with a stable fat profile, which is essential for use in both food products and technical applications. Due to its high quality, high oleic safflower oil can be stored for a long time without loss of quality.
The function of safflower oil high oleic
High oleic safflower oil has several active properties that make it valuable in both the food industry and in cosmetics. The high content of monounsaturated fatty acids, especially oleic acid, makes this oil particularly beneficial for health. Oleic acid helps to lower LDL cholesterol levels, which reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases. In addition, the oil has a light texture and is quickly absorbed by the skin, making it a common ingredient in skin care products such as creams and lotions.
Carthamus tinctorius oil in various industries
High oleic safflower oil plays an important role in both the cosmetic and technical industries.
In the cosmetic sector, this oil is valued for its excellent moisturizing properties. The light texture of the oil ensures that it is quickly absorbed into the skin without leaving a greasy film, making it ideal for skin care products such as creams, lotions and serums. In addition, safflower oil helps to nourish and soften the skin, making it a popular choice for people with dry or sensitive skin.
In the technical industry, high oleic safflower oil is used for its chemical stability and renewable nature. Due to its high oxidation stability, the oil can be used as a lubricant in industrial machines. Furthermore, due to its renewable nature, it is increasingly being researched and used as a raw material for biodiesel. The stability and high oleic acid content make safflower oil suitable for technical applications where long shelf life and consistency are essential.
