Abstract

This article reviews selected edible fruit, spice, and herb seed oils for their fatty acid compositions and other physicochemical properties. The seed oils were grouped according to their predominant or distinguishing fatty acid. These groups mainly included oils rich in α-linolenic (18:3n−3), γ-linolenic (18:3n−6), linoleic (18:2n−6), oleic (18:1n−9), or petroselinic (18:1n−12) acids. A total of 65 seed oils were included.
