  • What is the oil yield of pressed sunflower seeds and Linseeds?
  • The oil yield of the pressed sunflower seeds and linseeds was assessed before and after germination. Before germination, the oil content of sunflower seeds was 42.22 ± 0.24%. After germination, the oil content decreased significantly to an average value of 27.71 ± 0.21%.
  • Does germinated linseed oil increase shelf-life?
  • Germination significantly increased antioxidants in linseed and sunflower seed oils. Rancimat predicted 4.10 ± 0.52-fold longer shelf-life in germinated linseed oil. NMR revealed significant increase in FFA of 13.46 ± 0.6% in germinated linseed oil. Germination of seeds is known to affect the nutritional composition of cold-pressed oils.
  • Does linseed oil increase germination?
  • This was shown by the enhanced levels of compounds, such as 2-butenal with an 11.3-fold increase in germinated linseed oil and 1-heptanol, with 1.5-fold higher values in germinated linseed oil and a 4-fold increase in germinated sunflower oil compared to conventional oils.
  • Does linseed oil decrease Tg content after germination?
  • Significant decreases in TG content after germination were observed, with linseed oil dropping from 95.62 ± 0.17 to 77.49 ± 0.22% and sunflower seed oil from 96.88 ± 0.24 to 89.9 ± 0.06%. Conversely, a significant rise in 1-MG was observed in germinated linseed oil but not in sunflower oil.
  • What is the summed polyphenol content of linseed oil?
  • The summed polyphenol content of conventional linseed oil exhibited 0.12 ± 0.01 mmol/kg, while germinated linseed oil showed 2.28 ± 0.34 mmol/kg. In comparison, sunflower seed oil contained 0.1 ± 0.01 mmol/kg, and germinated sunflower seed oil showed 0.95 ± 0.08 mmol/kg.
  • Does linseed oil differ from sunflower seed oil after germination?
  • Overall, we observed distinct profiles for both linseed and sunflower seed oils with significant alterations following germination. The summed polyphenol content of conventional linseed oil exhibited 0.12 ± 0.01 mmol/kg, while germinated linseed oil showed 2.28 ± 0.34 mmol/kg.
