The fatty acid composition of plant oils varies greatly among plant species. Plant sources with high omega-3 fatty acid content, including those rich in α-linolenic acid (ALA), have recently received special attention due to the beneficial effects of these oils on human health. Many of the commercially available plant oils and fats are good sources of oleic and linoleic acids, but fewer offer substantial amounts of ALA. This article discusses oils high in ALA from the seeds of flax, perilla, camelina, and chia. All of these seed oils contain above 70% polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), and the ALA contents are above 50% of the total oil content. Oils from these crops are produced on an industrial scale and the processes are outlined in this article, along with pretreatment and refining techniques to acquire food and industrial products from seed. Chemical composition, physical properties, and typical oil parameters for these oils are reviewed here.
