topicSafflower Oil Lipids Randomized Trial
claimThis paper examines the nutritional and metabolic characteristics of Carthamus tinctorius seed oils produced in two regions across Morocco and assesses how various extraction methods, Soxhlet, cold pressing, and maceration, affect oil yield and the presence of bioactive compounds, which establishes the data on Moroccan cultivars that have limited information.

topicSafflower Oil Lipids Randomized Trial
claimSoxhlet extraction provided the highest oil yield, with the oil being rich in linoleic acid (40.45% ± 0.17%-80.25% ± 0.16%), a polyunsaturated fatty acid.

topicSafflower Oil Lipids Randomized Trial
claimAs the principal dietary source of lipids, edible oils (notably vegetable oils) exist in crude form predominantly as triacylglycerols (about 95%), with the remainder comprising impurities and diverse minor components.

topicSafflower Oil Lipids Randomized Trial
claimThe application potential of safflower seed oil (SSO) in both nutraceutical and pharmaceutical domains is attributed to its exceptionally high linoleic acid concentration and abundant polyphenolic constituents.
