[Chemical and biological properties of coriander fatty oil]. / Izuchenie khimicheskikh i biologicheskikh svoistv zhirnogo koriandrovogo masla.

The authors studied fatty-acid composition and the content of biologically active components of a new type of vegetable oil prepared from coriander seeds. It has been found that 82% of the total content of fatty acids are monoenic (oleinic and petroselinic acids), the share of petroselinic acid comprising 50-60%. Biological properties of coriander fatty oil were studied in an experiment on growing white rats, the oil was included into the food ration for the animals (25% of calorie value) during 12 days. It has been established that deodorized coriander fatty oil produces no detrimental effect on the growing animal body, however, it has a lower food value as compared to sunflower oil.
