General Uses Top
Suggest a correction!Common products:
- Seed oil (cold-pressed, refined) used as edible oil in food preparation and frying; also suitable for soap making; pressed seed cake used as feed or fertilizer. Oil is high in linoleic and oleic acids with typical iodine values and saponification values that indicate good frying stability and soap-forming properties.
Industrial and craft applications:
- Oil used in the formulation of industrial lubricants and as a base oil in cosmetics. Seed cake employed as a fermentation feedstock for animal feed due to its protein content.
Food and beverages (non-medicinal):
- Seeds eaten as a snack or ground into a meal/flour for use in breads, porridges and confectionery; hulls incorporated into baked goods; a paste or butter produced by milling the seeds.
Colorants and tanning:
- No documented reliable use as a dye or tanning material for this taxon.
Wood and fiber:
- No documented reliable use for timber or fiber products for this taxon.
Fragrance and cosmetics:
- Oil and roasted seeds used for flavoring; oil incorporated into cosmetic emulsions and as a carrier or emollient; no specific fragrance used.
Properties relevant to use:
- Seed oil is liquid at room temperature, with fatty acid composition dominated by linoleic and oleic acids; saponifiable and typically free of pronounced phenolic off-flavors suitable for culinary applications; non-drying to semi-drying film-forming properties. Seed cake has measurable protein and fiber enabling use as a feed or substrate.
Standards and regulation:
- Seed oil is regulated as an edible oil under national food standards and Codex Alimentarius provisions for edible fats and oils; bulk oil is graded for quality according to trade specifications (e.g., moisture, free fatty acids, peroxide value).
Sustainability and sourcing:
- Harvesting and processing of wild plants is not documented; no information is available on wild collection, domestication or cultivation impacts, or on pest management practices for this taxon.
