Summary: | In the last decade, the demand for edible niche oils has increased. Therefore, the aim of this study was to characterize the seeds hemp (
L.) varieties: 'Finola' (FIN-314)', 'Earlina 8FC', and 'Secuieni Jubileu', and cold and hot pressed oils were prepared from each seed. The seeds were examined for moisture content, granulometric distribution, bulk density, and fat content. Seeds were pressed without and with preconditioning (60 °C), and oil yield and pressing time were recorded. The oil was filtered through cellulose membranes. Oil-water content, oil color, fatty acid profile, and sterol content were studied. From the study conducted, there are significant differences in the parameters of oil recovery and its quality compared to 'Finola' seed oil, which is widely reported in the literature. 'Finola' oil yield was the lowest, with an average of 79% compared to 'Earlina' (82%) and 'S. Jubileu' (84%). All oil samples contained a comparable amount of sterols, with campesterol (0.32 mg/g), β-sitosterol (1.3 mg/g) and Δ5-avenasterol (0.15 mg/g) predominating. From the organoleptic evaluation, it was evident that both varieties hemp oils and marc ('Earlina' and 'S. Jubileu') were not bitter like the "Finola" oil and marc. More detailed studies in this direction have to be undertaken. |
